WHaT SHOUlD I WEaR?The attire is rock’n’roll black tie. Finally an excuse to pull that Madonna outfit from the closet! Billy Idol hair? Cool. KISS makeup? A must. Beatle wig? Fab. Guns N’ Roses jean jacket? Yep. Lady Gaga meat dress? Ummmm… Or, better yet, create your very own rock persona.

WHaT IF I DON’T WaNT TO INFUSE ROCK’N’ROll INTO My WaRDRObE?

That’s okay – we know it’s not for everyone. Standard black tie attire is perfectly acceptable. Plus we’ll have some festive accessories available at the Gala in case you’re moved to let your hair down (or spike it up) and set your inner rock star free.
