Is Madison Beer single-handedly bringing back leg warmers?

There has been a never-ending conveyor belt of trends and microtrends over the past few seasons, so we don't blame you if you've started to lose track. From the domination of Barbiecore to the celeb-favourite no trousers look, Y2k, the mob wife aesthetic, of course naked dressing and the recent emergence of sci-fi chic courtesy of Zendaya and Florence Pugh on the Dune: Part Two press tour.

It's arguably exhausting, but Madison Beer just reminded us of *another* trend that had seemingly slipped through the sartorial cracks: balletcore. First championed by Bella Hadid back in late 2022, the model was frequently spotted in an array of ballerina-esque attire including wrap cardigans, ballet flats and leg warmers.

It had a brief resurgence last summer thanks to Blackpink's Jennie, Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian all getting in on the look, culminating in Reformation's collaboration with the New York City Ballet in October.

And now – as with all trends, fashion is cyclical ya know – it's back again and seemingly single-handedly championed by the pop star.

Currently on her The Spinnin Tour, Madiosn took to Instagram to give her followers a look into her Brussels and Oslo shows, including some of her stylish stage 'fits. One ensemble consisted of a high-neck leotard with a ruffled rara mini skirt paired with black chunky-soled shoes and knit leg warmers pulled up to her knees.

A second ensemble also tapped into balletcore with a pink satin corset bustier and lace-trimmed mini skirt styled with actual pink ballet slippers and another pair of leg warmers. Fans were loving the looks, taking to the comments section to write:

Yep, consider it official – balletcore is back, baby! (Leg warmers optional.)
