The primary accessory—a mask.

The primary color scheme (by request)—black.

At the second annual Masquerade Ball to benefit the next winner of the Miss Connecticut’s Outstanding Pageant, representatives of the OT contest and a handful of competitors for Miss Connecticut put on their elegant finery and grabbed a variety of beautiful masks for a night out on the town at Nuchie’s on March 29.

The reigning Miss Connecticut’s Outstanding Teen Brooke Cyr ably hosted the gathering in Forestville, Conn.

Before the contestants sat down for their dinner, CTFashionMag.com escorted them to the party’s photo booth to capture an image of the women in their black-themed gowns, cocktail dresses… and, of course, masks.
