Fashion has decided that it is time to raise the barre and to embrace the ballet look. This week British Vogue unveiled its April cover, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy of The Queen’s Gambit. Featuring tulle dresses and mesh body stockings from Dior, taffeta corsets from Jean Paul Gaultier and a chantilly lace corset dress by Alexis Mabille, the photoshoot was a love letter to the world of leg warmers and hair buns.
At the Oscars, both Zoë Kravitz and Lily James wore dresses in “ballet pink”; later in the week Sarah Jessica Parker recalled Carrie Bradshaw’s pink tutu in a Prabal Gurung maxi dress and Harry Styles revealed his ballet pumps on the cover of his upcoming album, Harry’s House.
The look] channels the dressing room, the rehearsal space and the dance studio, where clothing must be comfortable and versatile, easy to pull on and off, with little superfluous decoration,” says Prof Alison L Goodrum, a fashion theorist and dress historian who is director of research development at Norwich University of the Arts.
