Perhaps in an effort to further distance himself from his former occupation, Mario is ditching those blue-collar overalls for some high society frills. Super Mario Odysseywill let Mario wear Peach's wedding dress.
On the back of the Wedding Peach amiibo box, you can briefly see an image of Mario in Peach's gown, and he looks good as hell. It's at the 6 minute 30 second mark in this unboxing video if you want to see it.

Or just peep this convenient screenshot:
This is a part of an increase in cross-dressing in Nintendo games, what with Link donning women's clothing in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There is sort of a precedent of Nintendo playing with gender roles, from Samus' famous reveal as a female character in the original Metroid, to Birdo, who has an entire section in Wikipedia devoted to the speculation surrounding her gender.
It'd be unfair to claim Nintendo is championing some sort of progressive ideology, and cross-dressing is a complicated, often misunderstood act and we don't know how Nintendo will actually handle it. Either way, it's cool to see Nintendo earnestly doing these kinds of things with their characters, since they are notoriously protective of their IP.
Seriously, though, Mario looks fucking good in that dress.
