regal attire
Monarch's formal clothing
Regal attire is clothing fit for royalty—elaborate, formal garments suggesting wealth, power, and ceremonial dignity.
The phrase describes actual royal dress (crowns, robes, ermine trim) or any outfit with similar grandeur: She swept into the gala in regal attire.
The term often carries a whiff of irony when applied to everyday overdressing.
