1. What to wear to a formal masquerade party? Floor length dress❤️👇🏼
Speaking of a formal masquerade party, a black tie is the common dress code.
Think black tuxedo and formal shirt for men and gown for ladies.
So yes, it’s time to bring your A-game as nothing is regarded as too fancy for a grand masquerade ball.
To finish your look on the dressier end, a hair-up and high heels are the must-haves to elevate your look even more❤️.
Some ladies may think a floor-length dress is only for the model material, well, think again!
It’s all down to picking the right dress to flatter our body shape.
As a petite girl, this handpick from Amazon is a true stunner.
Simple masquerade outfit idea❤️👇🏼:
Featuring the feminine off-shoulder cuts and side slit, this is how you elongate your legs and shed the heaviness in a long dress.

2. What to wear to a casual masquerade party? Minimalist look❤️👇🏼
Can you dress casually for the masquerade party? Of course.
These days, it’s not uncommon to see people embrace the minimalist style for the party.
If you gravitate towards an edgy all-black look, lean into it.
Truly, the combination can be endless.
A lace cami top, a tasteful pair of flared pants, and pointy pumps can be incredibly tasteful together.
So feel free to experiment with all kinds of combos❤️👇🏼!
Why this dress? The inverted V hem will create the model legs illusion.
I tried this kind of dress a few years ago and since then I’ve been ADDICTED.
3. What to wear to a masquerade-themed party? Jumpsuit❤️👇🏼
Despite the modern monochromatic look, a jumpsuit can be doable for the masquerade party if you want to dress slightly more casually.
But that said, you still want to maintain a certain level of dressiness to respect the event.
For an appropriate look, a bold red deep V jumpsuit just works wonders.❤️
As for the blazer, I’d say go with the velvet or jacquard to tell others you’ve given a thought to your style.
Unique textures can always add a dash of attitude.
4. What to wear with a masquerade mask? Vintage wear❤️👇🏼
Masquerade ball has a long history, they started as one of the elements of the Carnival back in the 15th century.
It then involved increasingly the grand parties around royalties, pageants, and other celebrations.
That’s why it’s common to see some ladies wear a Victorian or Gothic dress, it just brings out the best with the exquisitely crafted mask.
Again, I’ve found some stunning pieces from Amazon! They come will all different sizes and colors, Enjoy!
This is a show-stopping 1920s Sequined Flapper dress.
I actually own this dress for the Great Gatsby Party.
And now I realize they are such a great fit for the masquerade ball as well!
The beading and sequence look great, which is amazing with this price. Click HERE for Amazon reviews!
Of course, here’s the version for my plus-size babe!
This is a Victorian off-shoulder corset top with a high-low skirt. Not only this dress is sure to turn heads, but it’s also extra forgiving.
As a girl with chubby cheeks, wearing off-shoulder just makes my face appear to be smaller.
As for the high-low hem, it can draw eyes to your legs vertically and thus promote an elongating effect.
And let’s not forget the corset can give your chest a little boost!❤️
DEC Update❤️👇🏼:
It’s surprising to know how many of you clicked this dress! Glad that you girls like it!
5. Silk dress as the Masquerade ball outfit for ladies❤️👇🏼
To look the best at an exquisite masquerade party, a luxurious silk dress will do the trick.
Featuring a butter-soft hand feel and shimmery texture, a solid silk dress just makes you look like a million bucks with minimal effort.
Speaking of outerwear, a nice bolero jacket just finishes the outfit in a polished way, like a royal.
For a budget-friendly choice, opt for the satin dress – equally flattering!
6. Masquerade attire for ladies: DO get over the top❤️👇🏼
The point of wearing a masquerade mask is to fully express yourself.
With your face covered up, let your dress do all the talking and act boldly.❤️
Whether that’s an all-over sequin dress or a bodycon with wild feather trim, they are all welcome.
Girls just wanna have fun and sometimes we need that ego boost to feel extra fancy.
My Amazon two handpicks❤️👇🏼:
In your eyes, that’s a flamboyant feather dress. But for me, this is bodycon that I don’t have to suck my tummy!
So yes, this dress is surprisingly practical for that reason.
If a tube dress is not sexy enough, what about this feather-trim bombshell that all men are weak at the knees?
Ladies, you will need that ego boost.
7. Plus size tasteful velvet masquerade dresses❤️👇🏼
If you are attending the masquerade ball in fall and winter, a velvet dress is here to give you an extra dash of festive vibes.
Seriously, if you are on a budget, definitely reach for the velvet dress.
So you can wear them for all kinds of parties from masquerade parties to Christmas gatherings!
Plus, velvet is universally flattering to all body shapes.❤️
It just drapes the body beautifully and sparkles a touch of womanly flare.
Below is one figure contouring dress!
Do you know how the zipper is so obvious on the dress that it cheapens the look instantly?
This velvet dress has a back hidden zipper so don’t you worry about that.
Again, the V-neck and side slit help shed the bulkiness.
This is one knock-out dress that looks inherently glam, Check THIS out for the reviews!
8. The RIGHT masquerade mask that flatters your face❤️👇🏼
No one said this but guess what, NOT everyone looks good with masks.
As I’ve said, my face is quite chubby, so when I put on the mask, I feel that it draws more attention to my lower face, and that makes me quite insecure.
Guess what? I’ve ordered the HALF mask, and it works like a charm! Pictures below. (It’s not me, by the way)
That way, your face can look so much better and slimming!❤️
It is adjustable to your face, has perfect eye-opening (nothing to block your views), and the elastic band on the back can really help keep up the mask all night!
When in doubt, match your mask with the dress!
I know many ladies struggle with finding the perfect mask, so I hope this helps! Check THIS face-shaping mask on Amazon!❤️
If you have an oval and hearty face, I hate you, but you can actually pick any mask you want! The one below is another stunner.

9. Opt for a clutch instead of bags for a mask party❤️👇🏼
As a masquerade party is more of a formal party with a dash of vintage flare, I’d say it’s best to finish off your look with a dainty clutch than your daily classic Chanel flap.
This little detailing makes a difference!
It just levels up the formality.
This is so random… BUT
- Your body is a masterpiece that carries you through life’s journey—honor it with the love and respect it deserves.
- Beauty has no single definition; you define what beauty means through your uniqueness and authenticity.
- Your worth extends infinitely beyond your appearance—your kindness, strength, and spirit are what truly shine.
- The space you occupy in this world is yours by right; never apologize for existing exactly as you are.
- Your body tells the story of your life—every mark, curve, and change is a chapter of resilience and growth.
- You deserve to speak to yourself with the same compassion and tenderness you would offer to someone you love.
- Nourishing your body and soul isn’t selfish—it’s a necessary act of self-respect and care.
- The parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide may be exactly what makes you magnificently unique.
- Your body is not a project to be fixed—it is a vessel for experiencing the fullness of life’s joys.
- You are allowed to love yourself completely today, not when you reach some future version of yourself.
10. Wear aesthetic yet comfortable shoes for a masquerade party❤️👇🏼
Last but not least, the exclamation of the looks – shoes. If you think the high heels the better, well, think again!
At the masquerade party, you will mingle with others and do the dancing. I can 100% assure you your 10 cm stilettos will ruin your night totally.❤️
Instead, opt for something with a lower heel length that is equally flattering.
A pointy pump with an embellished buckle is a perfect masquerade party shoe in my eyes.
BY THE WAY❤️👇🏼
