robed

Clad in garments

Robed means dressed in a robe or robes, typically formal, ceremonial, or flowing garments: robed judges entered the courtroom, a robed figure emerged from the shadows.

The word suggests dignity or formality—you wouldn't describe someone in a bathrobe as robed without irony.
