Michelle Obama chose Venezuelan-American designer Carolina Herrera for the gown she
wore Tuesday to the state dinner honoring French President Francois
Hollande.
The formal, ornate style of the sumptuous gown by Ms Herrera
reflected French aesthetics, from the intricate beaded black bodice, to
the train and full skirt in a color called liberty blue.
'From the White House to Versailles it's not that far,' said Susan Swimmer, author of Michelle Obama: First Lady of Fashion and
Style. 'It's much more keeping in a French aesthetic than I've seen her wear
before. It's very French in terms of how ornate it is and the use of
lace and the velvet sash.'
