We would like for our guests to be creative and colorful with their attire! Creative black tie offers a modern twist on traditional formal wear, allowing for individual expression within the dress code. Men can deviate from the classic tuxedo and experiment with non-traditional colors while maintaining a polished appearance. Accessories, textures, and unique styling choices can be incorporated to showcase personal style while still adhering to the formal attire guidelines. *See photos. Accessorize your style: Looking for a subtler way to share your creative side? Accessories offer a unique way to accent an otherwise traditional look. Put a fresh twist on a classic black-tie gown with bright heels, sequined clutch, or statement necklace—breaking away from convention without compromising the formal elegance of your outfit. In other words, bright/Met Gala/fun/ artistic outfits!
