Bindi Irwin’s daughter, Grace Warrior, is enchanting fans with her playful embrace of dance and dress-up, recently spotted twirling in a stunning emerald ballgown at the Australia Zoo. The moment, captured and shared by Grace’s grandmother Terri Irwin, evokes imagery from the Broadway hit Wicked, with Grace’s look reminiscent of the iconic green-skinned Elphaba.
A Budding Dancer’s Delight
Terri Irwin posted the photo to Instagram with the caption “Dancing through life,” directly quoting lyrics from the musical. The image shows Grace, with her hair neatly styled in a bun, joyfully spinning at sunset. The dress itself is a full-length, lacy emerald creation that has already sparked comparisons to Elphaba’s signature look.
Family Influence and Early Enthusiasm
Grace’s love for fancy dresses and dance appears to be nurtured by her family’s recent involvement with Dancing With the Stars. Her uncle, Robert Irwin, competed on the show this fall, with Grace often present at live tapings in similarly glamorous attire. Robert Irwin recalled a moment where Grace, just four years old, critiqued his Viennese waltz with surprising precision: “She was like, ‘I loved your Viennese waltz. Your footwork was excellent.’”
Future Star?
Given that both Bindi Irwin and Robert Irwin have won Dancing With the Stars, speculation is growing that Grace may follow in their footsteps when she is older. As Robert joked, Grace already has her dance partner in mind: “Who do you want to be paired with?’ and she’s like, ‘Val.'”
Grace’s playful spirit and early exposure to dance suggest a bright future for the budding performer, as she continues to twirl through life with joy and flair.
