Michelle Obama Goes Glam For State Dinner (with a dress by little-known designer Naeem Khan)
[Pic in URL] by Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff
Looking glamorous in an elegant strapless gown by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan, Michelle Obama welcomed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Mrs. Gursharan Kaur to the White House Tuesday night and ushered in the Obama administration's first official state dinner.
Though she's become known for her (sometimes controversial) high-fashion risk-taking, tonight Mrs.Obama chose a dress with a classic floor-length cut in a subdued gold fabric and paired it with a light shawl. Her makeup was kept to a minimum and her hair done in a dignified updo. The entire ensemble seemed traditionally feminine and sophisticated, reminiscent of the first lady's more conservative predecessors.
But there were a few Michelle-style flourishes, including a pair of elaborate chandelier earrings and a stack of glittering gold-and-diamond bangles piled high on her left arm. Her choice of Khan as designer is also characteristic of this first lady, who often favors little-known artisans over big names. Khan has been on the fashion scene since 2003, and has outfitted youthful celebrities such as Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Lopez. He has also dressed dignitaries like Queen Noor and designed the costumes for the 2006 movie "Dreamgirls."
Tonight's look may mark a sartorial departure for Mrs. Obama, a shift into more sophisticated, luxurious, and regal attire, rather than the playful, accessible, less-polished clothing she's worn thus far.

“What’s that saying....put a dress on a turd.....”
and crog up the toiret.
Sasquatch forgot her bra. Looks great with her baby puke coat.
Finally, somebody got her an outfit that looks good on her. No boob belt, she gets to show off those “toned arms” all the womens’ magazines hyperventilate over...for just about the first time since she moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, she looks like a First Lady.
She makes that poor Indian PM’s wife look like a hobbit, though. Tall Michelle is tall.

Ok, you owe me a new keyboard and a diet coke!
This is the best I’ve ever seen her look.
Whoever was in charge of her for this event ought to stay in charge.
And no cheesy fake-flower brooch.... her jewelry is exactly right here. I really hope this lasts!
First Lady Mrs. O has debuted her ensemble for the state dinner, wearing a gown by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan. The strapless gown features hand cut sterling silver sequins sewn on nude silk chiffon, creating an abstract floral pattern. The dress is entirely handmade, requiring three weeks of work by 40 people, completed in Naeem Kahn's family workshop in India. The custom, one-of-a-kind gown was made specially by the designer for Mrs. O to wear to the state dinner, which honors Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and his wife, Gursharan Kaur.
Outsourced the handmade dress to india? Do they have unions in India? /sarc
exercising her constitutional right to bare arms as usual - in November no less..
the brits refer to them as “ thunder” and “lightning”
I’m sure she looked magnificent as they entertained the Prime Minister in the tent with 400 guests. Some State Dinner...
“Playful...and less-polished”
Ha ha - I love an understatement. That is a whopper.
Yay! I don’t think she has ever looked better. It’s about time!
Finally she wears a dress I can like. However, I wonder about the cost.
Nice dress, but where’s the big belt?
Its all about her.
National tradition of selfness.
We all must be proud.
Needs a Black Boobelt!
