Just wondering...
In previous years I've attended it is formal/winter clothing. I'm sure you can use your regular costume. It is the City of Heroes, after all.

It is a tradition that the Winter Gala is a black tie event. Yes, there will be 6 costume contests you can participate in. One of them is a formal couple contest, where we will reward the best looking couple in their formal look.

Its a black tie affair...people will don their costumes to fit the appropriate category for each contest. The people not participating in the contests will of course remain in formal wear; or so we hope. The party, formal or not, is for fun. Costume contests are fun. Therefore its definitely not out of place. At least thats my thought on it.

This is full of win, but would have been an epic win if you could have photoshopped a picture for it.
