No dress code, but a night out still deserves getting dressed. Here's how.
There isn't one
The Met has no dress code. Match the night instead: gala, evening or matinee.
Except at La Scala
La Scala opens on December 7, Sant'Ambrogio. That prima is black tie. Otello this year.
Tulle, velvet, satin
Ballet invites softness. A tulle midi sits well for hours and does not crush.
The season opens
Ballet from October 23, Hansel and Gretel from October 30, Nutcracker in December.
From Maria's edit
Evening pieces from Italy, a few blocks from the Opera House.
