ensemble
[C/U] Both
pl: ensembles
This term emphasizes the harmony and integration of individual parts into a single, cohesive unit. In performing arts, it suggests a lack of a single dominant star, focusing instead on the collective strength and interdependence of the group to create a balanced performance. In fashion, the word evokes a sense of curated elegance. It implies that the clothing, shoes, and jewelry were intentionally selected to complement one another, moving beyond a simple outfit to a deliberate aesthetic statement.
Countable when referring to a specific group of performers or a single coordinated outfit. Uncountable when referring to the general concept of collective performance or stylistic coordination.
