Ranma as James Bond?! (Several of the Senshi had to admit privately that Ranma just somehow didn't look right in a tuxedo. It just wasn't him, somehow.)
Mamoru as Prince Charming. (Well, princes didn't need imaginations.)
Usagi as a Princess with little clip on pixie wings in the back. (Princesses apparently didn't need imaginations either.)
Hotaru looked quite cute in her nurse's outfit.
Setsuna as El Hazard's Ifurita somehow seemed visually to fit in a way that Ranma's tuxedo did not.
Haruka had originally decided to come as a sultan, particularly with Michiru being dressed in a G rated version of a harem dancer outfit. She'd been convinced that she hadn't pulled it off so they were currently a harem dancer and a female harem guard.
Minako had gotten ahold of this box of clip on cat ears and tails and had come to the masquerade as Cutey Kitty in a modified Cutey Honey costume.
Rei had shown up in her shrine priestess clothes, heard all the flak being directed at Usagi for her lack of imagination, and found a costume store really darn quick. Fortunately that guy at the Spells R Us store had found her a Playboy Bunnygirl costume in her size, though the collars and leashes were a bit odd. And what did he mean by "don't mix magic while wearing it"?
Ami had decided to come as a doctor. After everyone (including Usagi) had finished rolling their eyes at her, she decided to try Minako's suggestion of accessorizing and soon had a pair of clip on cat ears and a similar tail.
Makoto had decided on a fighting game girl as her costume, but hadn't decided on a single one until the last moment when inspiration struck. So she was Mai Shirunai, sort of crossed with two other fighting game girls (Chun Li and Kasumi.)
They'd gotten to the door, and Usagi and Mamoru made it in. However, at that point, it had gotten crowded and only one more could have made it in. The guard eyed the way Rei had put a collar on and handed the leash to Ranma, and qualified it as one more person "and pets".
Which was how Ranma had ended up distastefully holding leashes that led to collars, which were worn by: Doctor Ami Kitten, Nurse Hotaru-neko, Harem Dancer Michiru, a very miffed Haremgirl (check the sword at the door) Haruka, Ifurita Setsuna, and Kitty Honey Minako.
Ranma was just grateful that a near hit from one of Usagi's blasts had muted the nekoken fears. Otherwise he didn't think he'd have pulled this off long enough to infiltrate this place.
There were a lot of martial artists and such present.
Nobody had realized at the time that Ranma had been sighted by his father. His father was bound and determined to force the boy to marry one of Tendo's daughters. Soun had brought his three daughters along. Two other Nerima martial artists had come to attend. Kodachi Kuno because this was also attended by some movers and shakers and her own costume of the one called Sailor V was perfect for showing off.
Ukyo Kuonji was on a vengeance quest. She'd get revenge on Genma and Ranma. Her own outfit eschewed the normal androgynous or bishonen look for a fighting game girl similar to Makoto's.
Shampoo was in her maid outfit and trying to spy on her beloved (Mamoru) while keeping an eye out for redheads.
During the mingling, Nehelenia channelled the huge amount of magical energies.
The worst off was:
