7 Ways to Look Ballerina Chic

Look gorgeous in these ballet-inspired pieces (no dance skills required).

In her recent Under Armour commercial, Misty Copeland proves that ballerinas are graceful and delicate—and also confident and ass-kickingly strong. Put any of the following ballet-inspired items on, and bring out your own poise and power.

 

 

A Cashmere Ballet Sweater

This wrap sweater is perfect for layering in the fall. It's part of a limited-edition collaboration between Ivory Row and Mary Helen Bowers, founder of Ballet Beautiful and a former New York City Ballet dancer (who trained Natalie Portman for Black Swan!).

Bowers also collaborated with Tinker Tailor to offer pointe shoe-esque flats in lots of fun colors—a fresh update for any night-on-the-town outfit.

Studded Flats

These ballet-pink shoes have a little bit of an edge, and a bonus: Hush Puppies released them in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness. The company is also donating $10,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation this year.
