Norton's not the only one who knows how to dress the part; another habitual wearer of suits to begin with, it only takes Arthur a little effort to clean up enough to meet the exacting standards of the party. Even if his style seems to be slightly more dated than even Norton's; he's traded his tie for a bow, and the waistcoat seems slightly more fitted than usual - thanks to Helly the colours match, but he definitely seems like he's angling more for black tie than HOA meeting. His own curls are tamed with pomade too, giving a Clark Gable style to the meticulous coif.

Unlike Norton, he's less good about maintaining a pleasant expression, though it's clear he's trying. And it's one of the first times he's made a properly public appearance since he vanished after getting arrested for breaking and entering into Norman's house; it's lucky that gossip hasn't spread too far, but he does appear to be getting a slightly wider berth than most people, as he lingers near a wall with a drink in one hand and his cane in the other, propped against his own foot for the minute.
