The Dress Code at the Nobel Banquet

So there you are, finally holding a coveted invitation to the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and the Nobel Banquet: what to wear?

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm and the Nobel Banquet that follows is a strictly formal affair. Gentlemen are required to wear white tie and tails, while ladies should be dressed in an evening gown. This is the perfect time to dress up and look like royalty! Wearing your national costume is an alternative to white tie and tails or evening gown.
