Mardi Gras Adult King/Queen Robe

The first King of Carnival, King Rex, was established in 1872. This tradition is rumored to have been inspired by Grand Duke Alexis Romanov's anticipated visit to New Orleans to witness the festivities. Since that time, the King of Mardi Gras has played an important part of the annual celebrations.

Crown yourself King or Queen of Carnival by donning these royal robes for your own Mardi Gras party. Send party invitations from the "King" requesting their presence. Kick the excitement of the season up a notch by requesting guests wear traditional Mardi Gras garb including jester costumes, feathered and venetian masks, long brightly colored debutante dresses, Mardi Gras beads and ornate headpieces to give your celebration an air of authenticity...and of course, kick off the party by being King!
