Red Carpet Attire: Two Premieres

Attire for grand events like movie premieres. Red Carpet attire

Attire choices for grand events are never easy to gauge. Fold into that drama a movie premiere event for all involved. Yikes! Here are two examples of Red-Carpet appearances.

What to Wear to Movie Premieres in CA?

Dear Polite One,

My husband has a small part in an Oliver Stone movie, and we are invited to the premier. Is it okay to wear a dressy black, backless jumpsuit or should I simply stick to the little black dress?

Thanks for your help,

Dressing Up

Dear Dressing Up,

Your idea sounds great, especially if it is in the same formality as the ‘little black dress’.

If you can share some pictures of the event, I would love to post them. You wouldn’t believe how many questions I receive from others concerning this and pictures help.

Dear Polite One,

This wonderful young lady and her husband were lucky enough to obtain tickets to the movie premiere of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in CA. She was concerned about her attire. Who wouldn't be? Attire for these premieres can be shirts and jeans to evening gowns! So, we decided on this little black dress. It was perfect!

The best surprise was meeting Johnny Depp, who as it turns out is as nice as he seems.

Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us.

What is California Cocktail Attire?

Dear Polite One , What is California cocktail attire? Thank you, Confused Dear Confused , There is no such thing. At times, it feels as if hosts just like to make these things up to confuse their guests. I’m sure that’s not the case. Still... Many hosts try to create a “feeling,” or more appropriately, “set the stage” for an event. So, they will incorporate a well-known attire category with a word that describes that elusive stage. This leads to the confusion we both feel since neither of us can actually see inside their minds. So, I suggest going with slightly laid-back cocktail attire, which typically is the suit for men and the little black dress or its equivalent for women. Perhaps skip the tie and accessories that appear expensive. Additionally, it is appropriate to call the host and ask for clarification.
