Last Friday, Dallas' quirkiest Wes Fandersons took to DJ Blake Ward's dance floor at his Troop 55 Khaki Scouts Reunion party. The cinephiles gathered for an evening at The Stoneleigh P, a favorite hang of Wes Anderson and the Wilson brothers during the filming of Bottle Rocket.

This year's TikTok trend of producing videos inspired by Wes Anderson's aesthetic has not made us tire of the filmmaker's colorful whimsy, and that's a good thing for Ward, whose perennial Wes Anderson-themed costume party is becoming a Dallas nightlife tradition.

While Anderson and his collaborators didn’t make an appearance, many costumed guests came close enough to the real thing. We picked our favorite Anderson-esque outfits to help inspire your weekend watchlist.
