Now, in a nod to the most popular “balletcore” aesthetic, Kendall Jenner was recently seen channeling her inner ballerina in an ultra-chic ensemble that simply captured the refined elegance of a dance studio. Known for her edgy and fashion-forward sense of style, a supermodel and a fashion influencer even easily embodied the ethereal elements of ballet-inspired fashion through an outfit that has already begun taking social media by storm.
Jenner wore delicate yet sophisticated soft pastel tones with classic ballet inspirations. She opted for a pale pink bodysuit-style top and paired it with a flowing layered tulle skirt, achieving perfect tutu-like ballerina inspiration. Alluding to the grounded trend was a minimalist satin ballet flat, which added a touch of authenticity to Jenner’s “balletcore” aesthetic. The palette and silhouette are signatures of the trend, blending femininity with a hint of vintage nostalgia.
The crowning jewel of Jenner’s ensemble was, however, absolutely the designer handbag-a $3,800 accessory that added utter luxury to the ensemble. This expensive fashion accessory is considered a statement and marks Jenner’s total luxury look. Soft, blush leather coated the outer part with elegant gold hardware. Its structure complemented the fluidity of her ensemble, striking an interesting balance between the romantic aesthetic of her clothing and the polished sophistication of a designer accessory. Jenner’s choice of bag enhanced her look while also staying with her reputation for combining the finer aspects of high fashion with unique thematic outfits.
“Balletcore” is a trend where, over the past year or so, people have been inspired by the traditional style of ballet costumes: pastel colors, tulle skirts, wrap tops, dainty footwear. This is usually married with contemporary pieces but lets you personalize it and bring a twist to modernize it. See in Jenner that balletcore can be both accessible and luxurious in capturing the sense of elegance and ease.
As fashionistas and fans begin to emulate the supermodel’s outfit, it’s likely that Jenner’s high-profile nod to balletcore will propel this trend even further. For example, her move to balance the otherwise whimsical and nostalgic elements of balletcore, coupled with a high-fashion luxe bag, makes known the manner in which this style can elevate upscale events while bringing dainty aesthetics from the ballet into glamor and exclusivity from the designer world.
