The runway debut of Miu Miu’s satin ballerina flats last fall in Paris was a triggering moment for TikTok. The heavy satin and stiff structure, reminiscent of hardcore pointes versus the sweet, but kind-of-plain Repetto ballet flat, lit a fire on social media and launched a full-on “balletcore” rebirth for Spring. TikTok users went wild creating outfits that incorporate ballerina-approved pieces such as crinoline tutus, light knit cardigans and leotards in soft colors. Our take on the trend includes corsets, leg warmers, bodysuits, ballet flats and tights—a perfect look for the first blush of spring.
