gowned
Dressed in formalwear
Gowned means wearing a gown—a long, flowing garment.
The word appears most often in formal or professional contexts: gowned graduates lined up for the ceremony, the surgeon entered already gowned and gloved.
In medical settings, to be gowned is to have put on protective clothing before a procedure.
