For Friday’s state dinner in honor of Chinese president Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, first lady Michelle Obama chose a custom mermaid gown from Vera Wang Collection. It was an inky black floor-length dress in silk crepe with a hand-draped skirt and organza sleeves. It exuded Hollywood glamor of the sort that has long defined the red carpet. And Obama’s hair, styled in gentle waves and cascading down her right cheek completed the look for the night. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous! Here is what the designer of the beautiful gown had to say....
“It is such a privilege, as an American of Chinese heritage, to have dressed first lady Michelle Obama for this state dinner honoring President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan, of the People’s Republic of China,” tweeted Wang.

The black-tie affair was not only attended by top-level politicians from both countries - with the likes of Facebook and Apple bosses Mark Zuckerberg and his pregnant wife, Priscilla Chan, and Tim Cook joining the two presidents at the top table for the glitzy event.
