dress code is cocktail/“formal” attire
There's a big difference between cocktail and formal attire. Cocktail dresses usually fall at the knee or just a smudge lower. Think light and airy fabrics such as chiffon, linen, or organza, a midi or knee-length dress, as well as a jumpsuit, are all great options. Formal usually means an ankle length gown. I would just opt for a maxi dress, that has the fabric and style of cocktail attire, maybe? More on reddit.com

Can someone explain cocktail attire to me, please?
Don't use retail sites to define dress codes. They are over-inclusive because they want to put as many options in front of the customer as possible. Cocktail attire means a formal dress that is around knee length with or without a slit. You could do ankle length, but not floor length. It can have any sort of sleeves or even be strapless. Cut and fabric should be formal but that is somewhat flexible depending on the venue, season, and time of day. Dark colors typically read more formal, but again what is appropriate in terms of color is situation-dependent. Red is completely fine unless the couple is from a specific culture where red is either taboo or worn by the bride. For most American weddings there is no problem with wearing red.
