Ballet dancer in horse's tail Venus wig, Royal Opera House

Ballet girl wears The Venus Wig Horse's Tail for the opera. Many experts criticised the Horse's Tail hairdo worn by members of the cast of Wagner's opera Tannhauser at Covent Garden last night. The hair style was created by Ralph Koltai and the tail is a wig in silver white and he claims that it is a throwback to classical times of Venus, but Raymond the West End hairdresser says Venus never wore a horse's tail.
