Want to show off just how rich, elite, and extravagant your upper class is? Have them celebrate everything with a Masquerade Ball. With bizarre masks and elaborate Gorgeous Period Dress, everyone's identity is sufficiently obscured for any number of misunderstandings. Either Horror or Hilarity Ensues. For really grand scale masquerades, the writers may include festivities where the entire city dresses up in grand costumes, a la Carnival/Mardi Gras. Which maximizes the chance for confusion and mingling with people one would normally never know. Hard to avoid in New Orleans and Venice. A popular 19th-century setting, due to, as The Other Wiki puts it, "both to their popularity at the time and to their endless supply of plot devices." To wit: Mistaken identities, untraceable murderers, believing something is All Part of the Show, a normally-costumed character hiding in plain sight, (or mocked for their poor quality costume) and one of the attendees' masks being revealed to be their actual face. A court is a... difficult place. The refinery on top of the sheer trope goldmine that is the Masquerade Ball is the convention of using aliases to go with the masks. Historically, that can free participants to indulge in era-appropriate 'scandalous' behaviors — and also make a good opportunity for the uninvited to crash. Watch out for the mass robbery by the Phantom Thief and Classy Cat-Burglar, and hope there's a Golden Age Super Hero around somewhere. Charity Ball often combines with the theft, to give the thieves a good way to infiltrate. A modern costume party has some of the potential for this, especially if there are disguises abounding. If it's an actual Masquerade Ball in a modern setting, expect at least one guest to bring out the Romeo and Juliet quotes. If Fanservice is desired, the modern costume party has a great advantage: Whereas the nineteenth century believed in modesty, the twenty-first century is a time in which you can expect plenty of Sexy Whatever Outfits. Even those who vainly deny that Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory may grudgingly admit the social metaphor inherent in the Masquerade Ball. A Sub-Trope of Dances and Balls and a period-specific Sub Trope of Themed Party. Has nothing to do with the Masquerade (and can actually mean a break from it, such as For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself). |

Across all the productions of Marie Antoinette (Musical), Orléans takes Margrid to one where her resemblance to Marie is highlighted by Fersen briefly mistaking her for the other. In the revised plot, this is Played for Drama, with the Affair of the Diamond Necklace taking place at the same time. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Queen Selenay, partly as a way to see if Prince Thanel of Rethwellan is truly serious about her, holds a masquerade party after the year of mourning for her father is up. She and her eleven ladies-in-waiting dress up as the identical-looking Moon Maidens from Rethwellan legend. Thanel, who is costumed as the Moon Prince, is able to pick Selenay out due to the rose she was wearing at her belt and proposes marriage, which she happily accepts and the two announce their betrothal at the time of unmasking. Too bad things went downhill after the wedding. | |

In Dragon Age, the ruling class of the Orlesian Empire have these fairly frequently. The player attends one in Dragon Age: Inquisition, although they and their associates go unmasked. Iron Bull, a professional spy, notes that the masks are only really good for fashion statements, as they don't offer protection or hide your expression. Vivienne, who's well-versed in Orlesian politics, gives a more detailed explanation. | |

In Vampire Knight, a Masquerade ball is held in Chapter 87 of the manga, with Zero and Yuki sharing a masks-on kiss, away from the crowd. You'd expect these types of scenarios in a world filled with aristocratic bishonen and bishoujo vampires having a social structure heavily resembling a monarchy. | |

An episode of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon revolves around a high-class masquerade ball April attends (and looks shockingly stunning in her evening gown). She brings the Turtles with her, thinking it'd be fun and ironic. Over the course of the episode, she is mistaken for a similarly-dressed European princess and kidnapped, and when security orders everyone to take off their masks, the Turtles are in an obvious bind. | |

In both Detective Comics #359 and Batgirl: Year One, Barbara Gordon first created the Batgirl outfit as a costume for a party (and to annoy her father in the updated story). When the party was crashed by supercriminals, she responded to the crisis like a costumed crimefighter rather than a costumed partygoer (Which Bruce Wayne did, seeing as he was in a clown outfit at the time), starting her journey to become a member of the Bat-Family. | |

Labyrinth: Villain Jareth places a Dream Ballet illusion of this in protagonist Sarah's mind. For those of you who like symbolic details: Earlier, we see that Sarah owns a little music box with a princess-like figure in a poofy dress, twirling atop it, and inside walls of glass and mirrors. In Jareth's illusion, he turns Sarah into this music-box princess. There are mirrors in abundance. Sarah has to shatter them to break the illusion. Jareth removes his mask while the guests retain theirs, and yet he is often in close proximity to mirrors, including two which are held up to him on either side by masked women when Sarah first spots him. |

The film Start the Revolution Without Me (a humorous account of the French Revolution) has a hilarious send-up of this type of party. Even though it's technically not a Masquerade Ball, everyone still wears elaborate court dress—except for King Louis the XVI, who arrives in an elaborate chicken costume. (Apparently his devious wife told him it was supposed to be a costume ball and then "changed her mind" without telling him.) There's also plenty of intrigue, spying, and backstabbing going on as the ball patrons exchange secret notes with each other—so many notes in fact, that the entire floor gets covered with them. | |

Ella Enchanted: The ball at the end is a masked affair, which is convenient for Ella since in this Cinderella retelling the prince already knows her well enough to recognise her unmasked (not to mention her stepfamily). In this case, most of the guests don't wait until the end of the night to unmask, since the event is about introducing the prince to eligible young ladies, and said young ladies want the prince to be able to see how beautiful they are. | |

Unknown to Lucy, the Judge has thrown a wild masked ball at the mansion that is well underway when Lucy arrives. Lucy, confused and disoriented by the sights and sounds of the party and from the number of drinks she has at the place, winds up in the hands of Judge Turpin himself, who is anything but remorseful and has used this party as a means to trap and rape her: | |

Since Peri Tale is about the eponymous Periwinkle trying to fulfill a standard fairy tale, a big part of the plot is actually about getting Vallery to attend a fancy masquerade ball, supposedly to meet her "prince." | |

Doctor Who: In "The Masque of Mandragora", the Cult of Demnos takes advantage of Giuliano's swanky ascension party to conceal themselves in Part 4. In "Black Orchid", the Fifth Doctor investigates the murder of two servants during a fancy dress party in a Genteel Interbellum Setting. And in the new series, the clockwork robots of "The Girl in the Fireplace" use masquerade masks as part of their period 18th-century disguise to hide their featureless mechanical heads. |

Sailor Moon: Both the manga and first anime feature Usagi attending a masquerade ball held at the D Kingdom's embassy in order to find out if the royal family's treasure is the Silver Crystal and if Princess D is actually the Moon Princess that they are looking for. The scene is more significant in the manga as Mamoru and Usagi both reveal that they have memories of each other in a past life at this event. Naturally, the two of them also share a dance together. | |

The Royal Diaries: Masquerades pop up occasionally. Henry VIII loves these types of balls so Elizabeth has attended a few. She notices unmarried couples taking advantage of the disguises to sneak off together for some...ahem, fun. Catherine is quite puzzled because the Russian tsarina Elizabeth prefers balls where people dress as the opposite sex. A masquerade plays a key role in Mary, Queen of Scots's story: her music teacher Signore Marcelline was making unwanted advances on Mary Livingstone, threatening to denounce her as a whore if she tried to expose him. The Marys figure out what happened when he attacks Mary Beaton instead, being unable to tell them apart because of the disguises they wore. |

A masquerade ball is the central setting for the Rammstein video for "Du Riechst So Gut '98". All the band members, in the form of one werewolf (who continually shapeshifts between all six without anyone noticing), tracks a woman in a red dress to a masquerade ball, infiltrates them, seeking her out by scent (he/they sniffs various women's shoulders, searching for her), culminating in cornering her in a bedroom, for a fetish / horrific scene in which six wolf heads burst from his body as they kiss. The wolves escape as the partygoers try to catch them, and the woman is implied to have become a Werewolf as well. | |
