Suggested Attire: Black Tie with Harlem Elegance

Formal black-tie attire inspired by the glitz and sophistication of Harlem’s golden age. Think floor-length gowns, tuxedos, and vintage-inspired touches that capture the spirit of 1930s Harlem nightlife—sequins, velvet, feathers, pearls, bow ties, and gold accents. Embrace the timeless elegance and flair of the Jazz Age for an unforgettable evening.
