royal ball
Monarch's formal dance
A royal ball is a formal dance hosted by or in honor of royalty, featuring elaborate dress, ceremonial protocol, and aristocratic guests.
The term evokes fairy-tale imagery—Cinderella attending the prince's ball—and appears more often in fiction than in descriptions of actual events.
Modern uses are often playful or promotional: The charity gala was billed as a royal ball.
