As the grandeur of the Vienna Hofburg prepares to unfold its gilded doors on 11 January 2024 for the 121st ZuckerBäckerball, we invite our esteemed guests to adorn themselves in elegance, reflecting the exquisite ambiance of this Viennese soirée of unparalleled splendor.

Ladies, may the shimmering fabrics of your floor-length ball gowns gracefully sweep across the marble floors, illuminating the ballroom with an ethereal aura. Whether you choose a confection of intricate beading or a more demure silhouette, let your attire exude the refined elegance that befits this momentous occasion.

Gentlemen, embrace the epitome of sartorial refinement, clad in impeccably tailored tuxedos. Let the gleam of your cufflinks and the crispness of your attire mirror the sparkle of the evening. While a dark suit with a bow tie or even a dress uniform may suffice, casual attire, ties, and traditional costumes are strictly prohibited.

We shall create a tapestry of exquisite fashion, a visual symphony that will grace the grand halls of the Vienna Hofburg. Let our attire mirror the splendor of the ZuckerBäckerball as we embark on a delightful journey of enchantment.
