powdered wig
Barrister's white headwear
A powdered wig is a formal wig dusted with white or gray powder, worn by European aristocrats and professionals in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The style persists in British and some Commonwealth courts, where judges and barristers still wear them for ceremonial occasions.
The image evokes formality, tradition, and sometimes stuffiness: a powdered-wig sensibility about proper English.
