Lululemon x Francesca Hayward, principal dancer of The Royal Ballet of London have collaborated to create a limited edition 17-piece collection of ballet-inspired activewear.
Having just opened The Royal Ballet 2018/2019 season playing Crown Princess Stephanie in Mayerling, Francesca Hayward has a gruelling training regime and need pieces that are comfortable and move with her body as she dances.
In shades of maroon, khaki and black the collection is a mixture of classic pieces and post-class wardrobe staples designed for layering. Below are my 5 top picks from the collection.
Principle Dancer Funnel Neck
Perfect for layering this marino wool funnel neck sweater is super soft. The breathable fabric is thermo regulating and lightweight for ultimate comfort.
Principle Dancer Golden Lining Leggings
Created from Lululemon’s signature Nulu™ fabric these high waist leggings fit close your fame as you move. The waistband features gold thread (Francescas favourite colour) and the enclosed pocket at the back will keep keys or a card safe.
Principle Dancer Long Sleeve Top
The cashmere blend fabric of this long-sleeve top adds to the luxurious finish and fits like a second skin. Perfect to wear as a base layer between classes.
Principle Dancer Jumpsuit
This wide leg jumpsuit is perfect to put on over leggings and a bra or wear on it’s own post-class. With a wide leg, cinched in tie at the waist and low cut v-neck at both the front and the back make it ultra flattering.
Principle Dancer Golden Lining Bra
Created from lightweight Nulu™ fabric the super soft bralette is comfortable enough to be worn all day. The gold thread that runs through the underband is a nod to Francescas favourite colour and adds a shine to any outfit.
