"Le Nègre Favori de Zobéide" is a notable costume design created by the Russian artist and stage designer Léon (Lev Samoilovich) Bakst for the Ballets Russes production of "Scheherazade," which premiered on June 4, 1910, at the Opéra Garnier in Paris. The ballet, inspired by the tale of "One Thousand and One Nights," was choreographed by Michel Fokine with music composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Bakst's costume design for "Le Nègre Favori de Zobéide" (Zobeide's Favorite Negro) reflects the opulent and exotic aesthetic that the Ballets Russes was renowned for and contributed significantly to the visual impact of the production. The character of the favorite negro is a central figure in the ballet, serving as the lover of Zobeide, the sultan's wife. Bakst's design is characterized by its vibrant colors, luxurious fabrics, and intricate details, which embodied the Orientalist themes popular in European art at the time.

The costume played a crucial role in the portrayal of the character and the overall narrative of the ballet, enhancing the sensuality and drama of the story. Bakst's work on "Scheherazade" and other Ballets Russes productions had a lasting influence on the world of theater and fashion, with his designs often cited as a key example of early 20th-century artistic innovation. The impact of Bakst's designs extended beyond the stage, contributing to a broader cultural fascination with Orientalism and shaping the Art Deco movement that followed.

As a testament to Bakst's legacy, "Le Nègre Favori de Zobéide" and other designs from "Scheherazade" are held in high regard by art historians and are frequently exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, showcasing the enduring appeal of Bakst's visionary approach to stage design and costume.
