costume party

Themed attire event

A costume party is a social gathering where guests dress up in costumes, often with a theme like Halloween, decades, or fictional characters.

The costume element transforms an ordinary party into something more theatrical: We're throwing a costume party for New Year's Eve.

Also called a fancy dress party in British English.
