One of the popular trends for women this early half of 2011 is the ballerina look, which was inspired from the critically acclaimed film “Black Swan.” This look has been interpreted by various female celebrities especially during the awards season, including Hailee Steinfeld, Mila Kunis, and Academy Award winner Natalie Portman.

If you want to get that ballerina look in time for your glamorous party or soiree, here are some helpful tips to get you going.

Keep your make up simple yet dramatic – Choose between putting on smoky or pastel eye make up, accentuated with wispy and lush lashes. Also in the list are rosy cheeks, which can be achieved by applying light pink blush, and shiny lips using a glossy lipstick.

Tulles are back – You don’t have to put on a tutu state you are channeling the Black Swan. Ballet skirts, in pink or black, made of multi-layered tulle are needed to create a young and innocent appeal. And do not forget those ballerina flats or Cinderella heels for your feet.

Contrast lace with deep colors – Nowadays, colors like lavender, purple, and gold, look great with lacy outfits.

Complement your style with glitter – Put on a pair of tassel earrings and glittering handbags to finalize your ballerina look.
