This past weekend in DTLA, the Millennium Biltmore’s ornate banquet halls and lobby were transformed into a magickal faerie realm, as the 19th annual Labyrinth Masquerade ball took over the space. The event is named after the classic 1986 film Labyrinth, and there were more than a few Jareths roaming the halls. But going far beyond the imagery of the source material, attendees really let their imaginations soar in bringing a bounty of fantastical creatures and characters to life with intricate and masterfully crafted costumes. The sheer opulence and glimmering, glittery beauty was relentless, with show-stopping fantasy fashions on display in every direction. Here’s a glimpse of all the mystical, magickal fun, which included eye-popping costumed performances, three dance floors, an outdoor starlit tea party, a formal ballroom where guests could partake in centuries-old dances, and a grand hall where the partygoers paraded through in all their finery. The grand spectacle far surpassed this first-time guest’s expectations; it’s truly not to be missed. Be sure to check the Labyrinth Masquerade website for event and ticket info for next Summer’s 20th anniversary.
