Gala dress code
Formal attire is clothing appropriate for ceremonial or elegant occasions—black-tie events, galas, state dinners.
For men, this typically means a tuxedo or dark suit; for women, an evening gown or sophisticated cocktail dress.
Dress codes may specify formal attire required or black tie optional, signaling expectations for the event.
