The dress sounds very nice.  For formal, make sure you wear nice/dressy shoes (pumps rather than wedges or sandals, for example), in black to go with the black dress.  Also, make sure they're not so high that you can't dance in them.  Hair up with long narrow (dangle) earrings would be very dressy -- just remember that "less is more" so you don't want to go with big hair and big earrings and lots of makeup.  It's better to focus on one area with jewelry (earrings OR necklace, but not big with both) and one area with makeup (smoky eyes and neutral lips or neutral eyes and brighter lips).  Then take a long look in the mirror and make sure everything looks right -- and then hold your head high and have a wonderful time!

Something conservative, but I don't think you necessarily need to wear black. A dress or skirt or for a man nice slacks, shirt and tie.

i would wear a pair of jeans with black heels and a pink button up 50s style shirt that shows off my cleavage(my favorite outfit in my closet i have a few versions of the same outfit in different colors)

I either put on a skirt and tank top. Then some high heeled sandals. Then I put my hair up in a clip and put on make-up or I put on my fav pair of ripped jeans (in style) and a cute or sexy shirt. Then I put on my fav boots. Black with little diamonds and very high heels and apply make-up. Everybody does different stuff so if you want to look sexy do what you think will make you look sexy.

Make sure you have money, a cell phone, and mints, too.\n\nUm... as for a corsage...\n\nYou might want to try to find out what color dress your date is going to wear, and then buy a corsage that will coordinate with it.

A sport coat and color-coordinated dress slacks with a pastel dress shirt might do. But a solid navy-blue or medium-to-dark gray business suit is best, as is a solid-white, long-sleeve dress shirt with a conservative silk tie. Silk makes a smaller, much nicer knot than most other fabrics. If you can't afford 100-percent silk, try a silk blend. \nA tie clip or pin will keep your tie from flopping around when you open your sport coat or suit jacket. \nWear calf-length dress socks (not crew or tube socks) that match the color of your suit. \nWear low-heeled, conservative dress shoes that are color coordinated with your suit. (For example, don't wear brown shoes with a navy-blue or gray suit. Wear black.) Some say that laced shoes are dressier than loafers, but that's a minor detail. The important thing is to wear conservative, color-coordinated dress shoes, not sneakers, cowboy boots, etc. \nDon't go without a belt if you're wearing pants with belt loops. Wear a dress belt that matches your shoes (e.g., black with black). \nGet a professional haircut or trim. If you can't stand the thought of cutting your long hair for interviews, at least tie it back in a ponytail. But short, well-groomed hair is best. \nClean-shaven is the best way to go too. If you have a beard or moustache, shave it off for interviews. If you just can't, at least make sure it's well-groomed. \nIf you ordinarily wear one or more earrings, remove them before interviews

Cocktail attire does not necessary mean that you should wear a tie. Nowadays, cocktail attire has become less formal than in antiquity. I would go with what I like to call modern chic.\n\nIf you are having cocktails at night:\nWear a dark-colored suit (I personally will always like black) with a crisp white button down shirt, leaving the first top two buttons undone. If you have a lot of chest hair that peeks up from over your shirt collar, you may want to make sure you wear a lightweight tee shirt underneath. Do not wear a tie or a belt (unless you absolutely must). Keep it simple and elegant and effortlessly sophisticated.\n\nIf you are having cocktails during the day:\nFollow the guidelines above, but switch the dark colored suit for something a little lighter like a nice tan-colored suit.\n\nNo matter what you wear, you will always looking dashing if you (1) make sure you hair is groomed and neat, (2) keep your eyebrows groomed and brushed, (3) have clean teeth, and (4) have clean nails.

Oh that sounds so romantic, if its a formal reception with a diner dance then why not wear an elegant evening dress with a nice wrap to keep you cosy before you get to the reception, you can either hire an evening gown or you can buy one from the high street fashion shops too, try EBay they have some beautiful evening dresses dirt cheap, enjoy the wedding and good luck.

Not white: (symbolic of death in China).  Wear a neutral color.  Better yet, tell your secretary, "Thank you for inviting me to your wedding.  I am very honored & I will attend."  Then ask your secretary, "I'm not sure what to wear to a wedding. Would it be appropriate to wear a black suit, or a navy suit?"  This should get a response on how formal the wedding is, too.  I doubt you could go "business casual" (polo shirt & pants) but I could be wrong. She shouldn't be offended at your saying this, but rather flattered that you care how you present yourself to her life-changing event.

I suggest that you should wear one of two things:  the first is a nice cocktail dress that isn't red, or black and not too revealing.  Or possibly wearing a cute suit.  You really can't go wrong in a suit.  \nAs for your hair look through magazines for ideas.  I'm sure you'll look just great!

I would say a black Victoria Beckham style waistcoat, with a gold belt that ties right below the cleavage. A bit revealing of curves but not slutty at all. With fitted black pants and a pair of high heeled boots would be just perfect for a special night out. xx.

Depending on your style, you could go for the traditional white shirt black tie but since Opera is a thing of art why not wear some colour.  Think of a colour that you usually get compliments with....if your eyes are blue...blue is great.  even wearing a suit with a really nice t-shirt and perhaps a scarf is quite nice. have fun.

Fore-go the feathers, too fussy and you will look like Sesame Street goes to the Derby...I would go for a simple, yet elegant trucker hat, sporting something sassy and trendy like..I piss like the race horse you just rode...\nyou get the idea...a pair of black, knit leggings and a roomy , comfy beefy T. with a pair of black Tony Llama cowboy boots should finish off your look in style! Add a necklace, some feather earrings, and a black and gold lame bag, and honey, you are set for the Derby!
