What the fuck is "gala attire"?

I'm going to a charity fundraising gala in November, and the dress is designated as "gala attire."  I understand black tie, business formal, and business casual, but what the fuck is gala attire?  Tux?  Business suit?  Assless chaps?

Black tie. Or Orange/Blue as pointed out above.

I assume the event is in Austin based on username?  

In that case, I think that basically means dark suit/tie.  

If it were Dallas or Houston, i'd say tuxedo.  

People gettin clever with attire guidelines is annoying as shit.  And if you ask for business attire/gala attire in any city to be outdoors between Easter and Columbus Day in Texas, then fuck you twice.  

We received an invitation to an engagement party years ago that read, and I quote word-for-word because it's seared into my brain forever:
"Austin open-collared formal, with an eye towards cocktail glamour."

That happened.  On this planet.  I wore a guayabera and got piss drunk.
