Our Gala Dinner Dress Code

The dress code is “formal” (similar to “black-tie optional”) which encompasses both black tie and business formal. In practice, that means if you have a tux / long gown, it’s a great opportunity to wear it. If you don’t, then a suit or cocktail-type attire is absolutely fine. We hope this dress code is more inclusive – still fancy, but not as expensive or strict as “Black Tie” and allows you to show your individuality. 

With some help from the Australian Style Institute, some examples below, and photos capturing the glamour of previous Advance Gala Dinners!
