What is the name of the formal court that may accompany a quinceañera?

The formal court that may accompany a quinceañera is called the court of honor.

A court of honor usually consists of friends, relatives, or peers selected by the celebrant and family. Members may accompany the quinceañera during her entrance, appear in coordinated clothing, and participate in a choreographed presentation or dance.

The court is often divided into girls and boys, sometimes called damas and chambelanes in Spanish-speaking contexts. However, modern celebrations may use mixed-gender groups, smaller courts, or no court at all. The structure is a social tradition rather than a required religious element.

The court of honor is sometimes mistaken for a bridal party because both may involve coordinated attendants. A quinceañera court, however, is connected to a fifteenth-birthday celebration, not a marriage ceremony. Its purpose is to honor and support the celebrant.
