DANIELA Velvet Ballet Leotard, DUO JUNGLE with Criss-Cross Back

Some ballet leotards follow trends. The YUMIKO Daniela helped create them.

YUMIKO Daniela Velvet Ballet Leotard - Jungle & Safari | Iconic Criss-Cross Back Design

Recognised by dancers around the world and famously worn by Mila Kunis as Lily in Black Swan, Daniela has become one of YUMIKO's most iconic silhouettes. Delicate camisole straps, an effortlessly elegant neckline and the signature open criss-cross back combine to create a leotard that feels both timeless and unforgettable.

This stunning colourway pairs a deep Green Jungle body with a luxurious Safari velvet bodice, beautifully framed by soft Vanilla trim. The rich velvet catches the studio light with every movement, adding subtle texture and depth while maintaining the clean, minimalist lines that have made YUMIKO a favourite among professional dancers.

From the front, Daniela offers understated sophistication. Turn around, however, and the beautifully sculpted criss-cross straps reveal one of ballet's most admired back designs, perfect for highlighting elegant port de bras and strong upper-body lines.

The flattering high-cut leg lengthens the silhouette, while the front lining provides extra comfort and confidence throughout long rehearsals, coaching sessions and performances. Crafted from YUMIKO's signature premium stretch fabric and velvet, Daniela moves seamlessly with the body, allowing every développé, pirouette and grand jeté to feel unrestricted.
