Ballroom fashion style is an elegant and glamorous dress code associated with formal dance events and competitions, characterized by extravagant gowns and tailored suits.
Ballroom fashion evolved from the elaborate court dress of European nobility in the 18th and 19th centuries. As social dancing gained popularity, the style adapted to allow for greater movement while maintaining elegance. In the 20th century, competitive ballroom dancing further influenced the fashion, leading to more dramatic and eye-catching designs.
