Elegance Revived: Dressing for the Old Hollywood Glam Gala

In an age when the silver screen radiated timeless allure, the Old Hollywood Glam Gala invites you to relive the sophistication of a bygone era. To honor the magic of Oscar night, we present our dress code recommendations for both ladies and gentlemen, capturing the essence of this iconic period.

Please note, while these recommendations are designed to evoke the era, they are not obligatory. The only requirement for this event is to adhere to the rules of the black-tie dress code.

So, dress to impress, but most importantly, be comfortable and enjoy the night!

Ladies' Dress Code

For our enchanting ladies, we propose the following attire:

Floor-length evening gowns, rich in deep reds, navy blues, emerald greens, or classic blacks.
Embrace the spirit of the era with dresses bedecked in captivating embellishments, such as sequins, beading, or metallic accents.
Accentuate your elegance with refined jewelry, be it in the form of diamond or pearl earrings, a statement necklace, or a glistening bracelet.
Accompany your ensemble with a chic clutch bag or an evening purse that complements your gown.
Step gracefully into the night with stylish high heels or dressy sandals, radiating sophistication and grace.

Gentlemen's Dress Code

Gentlemen, we encourage the following attire:

Don a distinguished black tuxedo with satin or silk lapels, echoing the era's timeless charm.
Adorn a crisp white dress shirt, a symbol of enduring sophistication.
