‘Twas the night before nutcracker style guide!

A Can Can show is not just a performance. It’s a dazzling world you get to step inside, where every outfit is part of the story. As we open our first season in Portland, we can’t wait to welcome you to the stage of imagination, sparkle, and festive fun. Think of this guide as your personal invitation to play, dazzle, and shine in a way that feels uniquely you. Some guests go all out with bold, show-stopping looks, others sparkle with a single statement accessory, and many simply arrive in whatever brings them joy. Every choice adds to the magic.

Our style guide is here to ignite your imagination and help you craft a look that lets you move, mingle, and celebrate the night with confidence and flair.

Happy styling!


Soft, romantic, and effortlessly whimsical. Imagine stepping into a ballroom where every corner is blooming. Florals, flowing dresses, and gentle pastels fit right in. Men can lean into color with suits that feel fresh and full of life. This look is for guests who want to bring a little springtime to the holiday season.

This is where the drama enters the chat. Think androgynous silhouettes, sharp tailoring, and larger than life shapes. Metallics rule the night, from silver jackets to bold gold accents that reflect stage light like a crown. Wear this if you want to make an entrance that leaves people whispering.

Mysterious, magnetic, and just a touch wicked. All black is your canvas and texture is your storytelling. Lace, leather, mesh, and daring cuts come together with oversized accessories that feel collected from a century of enchanted travels. This look invites your inner sorcerer to come out and play.

Frost meets fashion. Whites and icy blues mixed with crystals, faux fur, and that glamorous mob wife energy we all love. Picture a winter storm walking into the room and instantly warming the place. This style is cool, polished, and impossible to ignore.

Bold, playful, and full of holiday excess. Pink takes center stage in every shade from cotton candy to magenta. Glitter becomes your best friend and dramatic makeup seals the deal. This one is for the guests who want to sparkle their way through the night and make the season feel brand new.

 

‘Twas the Night Before Nutcracker is showing November 21 through January 11, 2026.
