Ahead of ‘The Nutcracker,’ Go Inside the Dressing Rooms of the Los Angeles Ballet With Bulgari

Snaked around a dancer’s outstretched limbs, Bulgari’s Serpenti collection takes on a living, undulating elegance. The pieces—lithe and sinuous—mirror the silhouettes of the Los Angeles Ballet’s dancers, five of whom CULTURED caught in the midst of rehearsals for this winter’s The Nutcracker production, a hallmark of the company’s annual repertoire which opens Dec. 12.

Wearing a perfect complement to Bulgari’s finest—new costumes by LAB Costume Director Chloée O’Hayon-Crosby, which will be revealed for the first time during the opening-night performance of “Waltz of the Snowflakes”—the ballerinas let us into their dressing room for one last look before the curtain comes up.
