Our student Steering Committee decided on a fun, memorable theme to celebrate in style and commemorate the resilience and hard work of each MBA student. 

The highly popular TV series Peaky Blinders and the upcoming movie served as inspiration for this bygone era. This era is a perfect blend of elegance, resilience, and transformation, aligning beautifully with the ambitions of MBA students who aim to lead, innovate, and thrive in any economic climate.

🎩✨ 1920s Speakeasy Formal ✨🎩

Black tie-Formal

Optional: Step aboard in style as we blend the glamour of the 1920s-1940s Whether you prefer vintage elegance, sleek sophistication, or a fusion of both, we invite you to dress in a way that makes you feel confident and ready to celebrate in true Gatsby-meets-Formal fashion.

🖤 For a Classic Vintage Look:

• Elegant flapper-inspired dresses, beaded gowns, or tailored suits with art deco details.

• Three-piece suits, double-breasted blazers, or high-waisted trousers for a sharp, old-Hollywood look.

• Accessories like pearls, pocket watches, fedoras, fascinators, gloves, and suspenders are encouraged!

👞 Footwear & Practicality:

• Since we’ll be on a yacht, please opt for flat or stable footwear—loafers, dress sandals, stylish boots, or wedge heels are perfect. Avoid stilettos or slippery soles!

🌊 Yacht-Ready Elegance:

• Lightweight fabrics like linen, silk, or chiffon for breathability and movement.

• A light jacket, shawl, or wrap to stay cozy in the ocean breeze.

Dress to impress, express yourself boldly, and get ready for a night of timeless luxury and innovation at sea! 🚢✨
