We have a very strict dress code to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Ball.

Below is the description of the required formal ball attire:

For gentlemen:

• Formal tails: black tails, white shirt, white vest and white bow tie

• Black tie: black tuxedo, white shirt, black vest or black cummerbund, and black bow tie

• Traditional Hungarian Bocskai attire is also permitted

• Escorts of the debutantes must wear tails and white gloves

• Orders and decorations are restricted to the insignia of recognized orders of knighthood and merit, and national military decorations issued by a sovereign government.

For ladies: full ball gowns

For members of the American Military: authentic uniforms with or without decorations.

The dress code for the debutantes is included under the “Debutantes” heading on our website.
