court dress
Royal audience garb
Court dress is formal attire worn in the presence of royalty or at official state functions.
Historically it followed strict codes—specific cuts, colors, and accessories required for admission to royal courts.
The term now applies more broadly to ceremonial dress for formal government occasions: Ambassadors appeared in court dress for the state dinner.
