Try to remain within the theme VOGUE but also remember on Carnival Monday night we Light Up the ROGUE, so do your best to incorporate neon into your outfit. As a general reminder, when wearing your Monday Wear, ensure your wristband is easily visible since you won’t be easily recognisable in a costume fit. Remember we need to ensure our Security Team recognises you.
