Princess Aurora is a costume design created by the Russian artist Leon Samoilovitch Bakst in 1922 for the ballet "The Sleeping Beauty." The ballet itself, with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and originally choreographed by Marius Petipa, was first performed in 1890. Bakst's contribution came as part of a revival and reinterpretation of the classic ballet during the early 20th century, a period when the art of ballet experienced significant transformation and modernization.

Leon Bakst was a member of the Russian avant-garde and a key figure in the influential art collective known as the Mir iskusstva (World of Art). He gained international fame as a costume and set designer, particularly through his work with Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which brought a new level of visual artistry to ballet. Bakst's designs were known for their rich colors, intricate patterns, and historical accuracy blended with imaginative reinterpretation.

The Princess Aurora costume design reflects Bakst's signature style, characterized by its vibrant palette, luxurious fabrics, and elaborate ornamentation. It would have been worn by the lead ballerina portraying Aurora, the central character of the ballet, during key moments such as the "Rose Adagio" in Act I and the grand pas de deux in Act III. Bakst's design not only aimed to dazzle audiences but also to enhance the narrative and emotional expression of the character through visual means.

As a work of art, Bakst's Princess Aurora costume design is significant for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the history of ballet. It exemplifies the cross-pollination of visual arts and performing arts during a period of rich cultural innovation. Today, Bakst's designs are held in high regard and can be found in the collections of various museums, serving as a testament to his enduring impact on the world of theater and the visual arts.
