Diana arrived to the party

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural. I tried to use "clothe" in my sentence.

Diana arrived to the party clothed in a long red Prada dress and wearing a pair of green Louboutin shoes,

I would say,

Diana arrived at the party in a long red Prada dress and wearing a pair of green Louboutin shoes.

or even better,

Diana arrived at the party, wearing a long red Prada dress and a pair of green Louboutin shoes.

teecher,

Thank you for your reply. I am only wondering in what circumstances I could use "clothe". Could I write for example, "The queen arrived at the Parliament clothed in a red dress. "

While "clothed" is not incorrect in your sentence, I would only use it in contexts such as the above to highlight something unusual about what a person was wearing.

"Diana arrived at the party clothed in her grandmother's wedding dress."

I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural. I tried to use "clothe" in my sentence.

Diana arrived at the party in a long red Prada dress and green Louboutin shoes.

As you can see, in BrE at least, you can omit "clothed" and "wearing a pair of". The word "in" means "wearing".

emsr2d2,

Could I say for example this:

The man in a dark hat and a dark suit sat at the table.

Yes.
