Welcome to Carnival Noir, an evening where dark elegance meets mysterious allure. Your attire is your first step into this enigmatic world.
Masquerade, Not Costume
This is a masquerade event, not a Halloween party. Leave your superheroes and villains at home and embrace the mystique of the masquerade. We recommend your dress in your "Devil's Best." When we say "Devil's Best," we mean formal or masquerade attire, or with a dark, mysterious twist. Think black suits, dark dresses, and elegant accessories that evoke a sense of intrigue. Alternatively, show off your style with something a little more outlandish--we encourage creativity in this realm.
Do Not Wear Red
It would be foolish to attend in a colour so reminiscent of the cause of our suffering. Prince Prospero will not be amused and may even make an example of you to the crowd for your contempt. While he will not likely have you removed, you will likely suffer a great suffer public shaming.
NOTE: Carnival Noir takes place in an industrialized venue. Please be aware there may be grates or mildly uneven floor surfaces that pointed footwear may fall into. While high heels may be a stylish option, our first concern is our attendee's safety, so please dress accordingly.
Mask Guidelines
Masks are a crucial part of your ensemble for both men and women. Opt for masks that are elegant and mysterious. Masks will also be available for purchase at the event. You can always source masks online, or even make them yourself for a personal flair.
make it your own
Whatever your style, feel free to represent your own brand of strange. We encourage unique costumes and more unique personalities.
For Men
Gentlemen, when we say "Devil's Best," think formal attire with a dark twist. Black suits, dark shirts, and elegant accessories are the way to go.
If you have something a bit more whimsical, we encourage originality as well.
For Women
Ladies, your "Devil's Best" could be dark, elegant dresses, something shiny, or sophisticated separates. Accessories to accent.
Creativity is always a bonus. This is an evening to make your outfit match your style.
