    • 2019, Krissy Aguilar, “Liza Soberano Apologizes for Comments on ‘Black Face’”, inPhilippine Daily Inquirer:
      The apology came after a netizen claimed Soberano was supposedly doing a black face, but the latter said, in defense, it was just a “costume.”

  3. Aset ofclothesappropriate for a particularoccasion orseason.

  4. Aswimming costume.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Despite the meaning "traditional clothes,"costume may be considered pejorative by some cultures as a reference to their own traditional dress, owing to interference from the sense "fancy dress, disguise" (such as if their traditional dress has often been appropriated by others as fancy dress). For example, many Indigenous North Americans disfavour the termcostume to refer to their traditional and ritual garments and prefer the termregalia.
