Last night, U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama officially held a state dinner at the White House in honour of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Gr\u00e9goire-Trudeau. According to The Toronto Star<\/a><\/em>, the Washington dinner was the first one held for a Canadian leader in 19 years.<\/p>\n

Staying true to the air of sophistication which marked this diplomatic event, Mrs. Obama was a gorgeous sight in a strapless jacquard Jason Wu gown. The rich navy blue colour of the frock contrasted against the intricate floral detail, which made a splash with its green and dark pink detail. Her floor-length number featured a voluminous and delicately pleated hem.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gr\u00e9goire-Trudeau was patriotic and pretty in a punchy violet gown by Toronto-based designer Lucian Matis. The 40-year-old French Canadian beauty looked gorgeous in the cap-sleeved creation, which featured a dainty keyhole neckline and contrasting orange and pink embellished detail.<\/p>\n
