BORN TO DANCE
America’s first prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief, is an elegant choice to celebrate trailblazers and a natural fit for our Inspiring Women Collection.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
Her fiery red dress is inspired by the costume she wore for her star-making debut in The New York City Ballet’s 1949 production of The Firebird.
THE DETAILS
She’s the picture of grace with a “bejeweled” hairpiece, silvery earrings, and a tulle tutu. Sheer tights and ballet slippers with satiny ribbon ties complete her look.
