"L'Oiseau Bleu" is a notable costume design created by the Russian artist Leon Samoilovitch Bakst in 1921 for the ballet production 'The Sleeping Princess'. Bakst, a member of the influential artistic circle known as the Mir iskusstva (World of Art), was renowned for his lavish and exotic designs that played a pivotal role in the visual aesthetic of the Ballets Russes, a ballet company established by impresario Sergei Diaghilev. This particular costume was designed for the character of the Blue Bird in the ballet, which is an adaptation of Charles Perrault's fairy tale "The Sleeping Beauty" and features music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Bakst's design for "L'Oiseau Bleu" reflects his signature style, characterized by rich colors, bold patterns, and an imaginative interpretation of the character's role within the narrative of the ballet. The costume was part of the 1921 production of 'The Sleeping Princess', which was the Ballets Russes' attempt to stage a full-length version of 'The Sleeping Beauty' in London. The production was notable for its grand scale and the opulence of its sets and costumes, which were largely credited to Bakst's artistic vision.

The costume design for "L'Oiseau Bleu" is emblematic of the early 20th-century avant-garde movement in the arts, which sought to break away from traditional forms and explore new artistic expressions. Bakst's work for the Ballets Russes, including this design, significantly influenced the world of theater and costume design, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire designers and artists to this day.

"L'Oiseau Bleu" remains an important artifact of theatrical history and a testament to Bakst's contribution to the visual identity of ballet and the performing arts during a transformative period. The design is often studied within the context of Bakst's broader body of work and is considered an exemplar of the fusion of art and performance that defined the Ballets Russes' revolutionary impact on the cultural landscape of the early 20th century.
