I am an avid theatre goer and love everything about the performances that I see. One of my favorite parts of going to the theatre, though, is getting dressed up for the show. I just love entering a theatre in my heels and designer dress with my bold make-up and styled hair; it is the closest thing I have to a fancy Hollywood party. In addition to thoroughly enjoying the show, I absolutely love looking at what everybody else is wearing. I check out the outfits of the people around me, those next to me as I stand in line for my sparkling water, and those fixing their make-up in the bathroom mirror. Everyone always looks fabulous when they go to the theatre and, how can they not? The theatre itself is so beautifully decorated that it never fails to make you feel under-dressed.
I feel like fashion in the Broadway setting is so different from fashion anywhere else. If you go to the movie theatre, you wear a simple pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt. When you see an opera at the Met or go to a ballet, everyone is dressed in floor-length gowns, the tallest heels they own and are decked out in the most beautiful, but tragically expensive jewels. But fashion in the Broadway theatre is so unique in it's own form. It isn't as casual as going to see a movie but also isn't as fancy as attending an opera at the Met or going to see the ballet. Broadway fashion is right in the middle; most of the women are wearing nice cocktail dresses and heels while the men have on their most stylish, semi-formal outfits. I just adore the style that you see in the Broadway theatre and how wonderfully unique it is to Broadway itself!
Keep it classy,
Catherine
