Some leotards follow trends. The YUMIKO Tamara Ballet Leotard created one.

YUMIKO Tamara Ballet Leotard - An Icon Loved by Dancers Around the World

Known throughout the ballet world and famously worn by Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers in Black Swan, Tamara has become one of YUMIKO's most iconic designs. Loved by professionals, students and ballet enthusiasts alike, it is celebrated for its effortless elegance and beautifully minimalist silhouette.

This sophisticated colourway pairs a soft Sage body with contrasting Ocean trim, creating a fresh, contemporary look inspired by nature. Understated yet distinctive, it brings subtle colour to the studio while remaining timeless enough for every season.

The delicate camisole straps frame the shoulders beautifully, while the softly gathered pinch front creates a flattering neckline. Turn around and Tamara reveals its signature feature, a graceful open ballet back that allows complete freedom of movement while highlighting every port de bras, arabesque and épaulement.

Made  from YUMIKO's premium performance fabric, this leotard feels smooth against the skin with exceptional stretch and recovery. The high-cut leg creates beautifully elongated lines, while the front lining offers extra confidence during long rehearsals, coaching sessions and auditions.
