But I've seen coverage. This boots & black-tie bit is just not done.
For most high-toned evenings, just plain black-tie (or white-tie) will suffice. Ladies dress to the teeth--with accessories to match. (They generally eschew the upholstered look favored by Pickles.)

Then, there are occasions where high western is worn--perhaps at the Cattle Baron's Ball. Buckskin, turquoise & exotic boots abound--& that's just the gentlemen! The ladies are a sight to see but they leave the couture at home.
