Style Icon: Anna Pavlova

Anna Pavlova – Principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev. And, to be precise, style icon of another era.

Dying swan. Connoisseur of maneuvers. Beauty, grace, and decadence all in one; the epitome of ballet. If there ever was a little girl that did not dream of becoming a ballerina, I believe that images of Anna Pavlova would conjure up a storm of whimsical tulle fabrics and cream colored feathers, nights of spinning on their toes, and the airiness and softness that only a ballerina can bring to mind.

Here, gaze upon some of her best looks. Her costumes, combined with her perfect form, are pure fantasy for the times we’re currently living in.
