    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Dress Code:</strong> Let your style shine! Dress up in retro-inspired glam, or just add a golden touch. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Outfit Inspiration:</strong> </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Classic 70s Vibes: Bell bottoms, wide lapel blazers, jumpsuits, fringe, psychedelic prints </li>
    <li>Disco Chic: Metallics, sequins, gold accessories, platform shoes, wrap dresses </li>
    <li>Modern Twist: Black jeans with a gold top, simple dress with chunky jewelry, gold-rimmed sunglasses </li>
    <li>Accessorize: Sunglasses, gold chains, bangles, bandanas, or a funky hat Inclusive </li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <strong>Style Tips:</strong> </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable - there’s no pressure for full costume  </li>
    <li>Mix a retro piece with your regular wardrobe for a subtle but stylish nod to the theme  </li>
    <li>Don’t have 70s gear? A splash of gold or a bold print is more than enough to groove with us!</li>
    </ul>
