attired
Dressed for occasion
Attired means dressed or clothed, typically in a particular or noteworthy way.
It functions as the past participle of the verb attire, though the verb itself is rarely used outside formal or literary contexts.
Attired almost always appears with a modifier indicating the style or type of clothing: elegantly attired guests, attired in formal wear, scantily attired dancers.
The word carries a slightly elevated tone compared to simply saying dressed.
