For her very first state dinner, First Lady Michelle Obama opted for a cream strapless dress with sterling silver appliqués by Naeem Khan.

Michelle met the President of Mexico and his wife in an asymmetrical gown Peter Sorensen gown.

This beaded white gown by Naeem Khan made Michelle stand out in a sea of black dresses and tuxes.

At a fall state dinner, the FLOTUS donned a deep purple gown by Korean-American designer Doo-Ri Chung.

This voluminous Carolina Herrera gown with black lace overlay was custom made for the FLOTUS. #goals 

Michelle Obama posed with the wife of the Japanese prime minister in a purple tulle and embroidered dress by Tadashi Shoji.

FLOTUS paid tribute to Canada PM Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie with this floral gown by Canadian designer Jason Wu. (She is a big fan of the designer’s, famously wearing a custom dress by him at her husband’s 2008 inauguration.)

Michelle welcomed officials from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in a cream, off-the-shoulder Naeem Khan gown. It was her third time wearing the designer to a state dinner.

She saved the best dress for last! For her final state dinner as the First Lady, Michelle (here with Agnese Landini, the wife of the Italian prime minister), wore a rose gold Versace chainmail dress.
