Hey my darling Tutu-holics! Emma here, back again for another fabulous #TutuTuesday adventure through the glorious history of the ballet tutu! 💖✨ Did you know it's June 2nd, 2026 already? Time truly flies when you're having fun, especially when you're surrounded by shimmering satin, feathers, and the graceful swirl of a perfect pirouette! 🩰
This week, I'm whisked back to the Parisian Opera House on this very day, just in time for the grand opening of the Paris Opera Ballet's newest production - "La Sylphide"! Now, if you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a real treat! It's simply divine! ✨
The costumes? Well, let me tell you, they're just heavenly! The ballerinas twirl in the most exquisite tutus - long, flowing, and ethereal, just like the fairies in the story. You've got to love a little bit of fairy magic, right? 🧚♀️
And speaking of "La Sylphide", did you know it's actually the first ballet to feature a full-length tutu - revolutionary, I know! It's thanks to Marie Taglioni, a dancer so graceful and beautiful, she just needed a costume to perfectly showcase her talents. And that's how the tutu as we know it was born! 🩰
Back then, tutus were called "tutus", but in England we often call them tutu, tulle tulle skirts or sometimes even tutus skirts. They were made from soft, flowing white tulle, with layers upon layers, giving a lovely, billowing effect as the dancers moved. Such elegance and simplicity - no wonder it took the ballet world by storm! 💃
Over time, tutus became even more elaborate and diverse, just like ballet itself. Think of the pink tulle tutu I wear, adorned with lace and sequins! Simply *gorgeous! 💖✨ But the essence of the original tutu remains, that exquisite, fluid grace that makes us gasp in awe as we watch the dancers leap and twirl. ✨
Now, let's go back to 2026, shall we? I'm taking the Eurostar, my favourite way to travel - and it's always exciting for a Derbyshire lass like me to find herself in the heart of Paris, surrounded by culture and fashion! 🚄 Speaking of fashion, just picture my bright pink tutu against the backdrop of the grand old Parisian buildings, or the Eiffel Tower, or perhaps in front of the Arc de Triomphe! Can you picture the pictures?! Just divine! 💖✨
This weekend I’m off to see ‘Giselle’. What a perfect production with more flowing, long tutus - just stunning. How's a girl supposed to resist these amazing spectacles?! ✨🩰
So, dear Tutu-holics, join me on this journey through time and beauty! Remember, it's never too late to discover the joy of ballet, and don't forget: life's too short to not wear pink! 💖✨ Until next Tuesday, stay tutu-licious! 💕
##Emma's *Pink Tutu blog is now into its fifth year - she's gone all over the world; Sydney, New York, London, St Petersburg, Beijing, Milan to name just a few places.
The Pink Tutu blog has become a world-wide phenomenon, it even got its own hashtag on Twitter: #pinktutublogger.
Emma also has an exclusive subscription box which is wildly popular called: The Pink Tutu Box it contains, ballet-themed goodies, tutus, fabric, tights, beauty products, treats and a unique handcrafted porcelain ballerina figurine from a local artisan.
As her fame has grown, Emma now employs a team to help run Pink Tutu. She has an amazing office, she loves all her office colleagues and staff! Emma now has six offices across the globe; London, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Dubai, Beijing. She visits each office regularly.
The pink tutu business has flourished; Emma even has her own branded pink tulle, called: Emma’s Tulle which she has licensed and it has become hugely popular. She now has the means to be able to spend as much as she likes on new shoes, clothes and shoes - Emma loves all the luxury designer names she now wears from; Chanel, Valentino, Dior and Jimmy Choo to name but a few.
And don't even get Emma started on her collection of tutus. From bright pink ones, to shimmering and sparkling ones; and from classic white ones to bold colour ones. It is like she's got an enormous tutu warehouse just to house her ever-growing collection! It's become so large she even employs a team of two people to make sure she has perfect storage, and for her collection of tutus to remain in pristine, immaculate condition!
Emma's Tulle is being worn by all the major ballet companies in the world and even some singers, popstars and rock stars. Emma is in the midst of writing her own ballet script and looking forward to seeing it produced on stage one day in the future. But one thing that is clear Emma isn't planning to stop time-traveling anytime soon. Her next journey? Buenos Aires! She is just so excited to see the Argentine tango and, what other tutus are out there in that part of the world.
So you can see the Pink Tutu empire is thriving and growing at an incredible speed.
Emma is happy with her work life. She’s a bit sad, however, she still hasn't found someone special and met ‘The One’. Maybe he's out there amongst all the ballet dancers? Time will tell...
