anyone graduating in May 2026? Grad gown decisions

Hi, wanted to jump back into the camb community and ask if anyone has any answers to this: can I wear a BA gown to my grad ceremony although I am 24 years old?

I'm graduating from a masters and have no prior cambridge degree. I turned 24 during the course of my studies, so when I attend the grad ceremony this summer, I will need the MA gown. However, I have already spent a hundred fifty pounds when I first bought my BA gown to wear for marticulation + formals etc. So, for this upcoming grad, I was wondering if I could just reuse my BA gown for the grad ceremony? (i.e., how would they know I am 24 and not under 24? would they ID check me & my DOB before the ceremony?)
