a fluffy halo of tulle engineering hours of agony into ten seconds of weightless grace
means A short, stiff skirt of layered net or tulle worn by a ballet dancer, sticking out from the hips.
from From French 'tutu', a playful nursery alteration of 'cucu', itself a childish reduplication of 'cul' (backside) — so the word cheekily names the dancer's behind, the very thing the skirt frames and lifts. It entered English from French ballet vocabulary in the late 19th century.
