President Obama hosted Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Ho Ching at the 12th state dinner of his administration tonight in Washington.
The black-tie affair – called by the White House a 'celebration of summer bounty' – marked the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations between the U.S. and the city-state, which Obama refers to as an anchor for the U.S. presence in Southeast Asia.(snip)
For tonight's festivities first lady Michelle Obama donned a strapless, ivory gown by American designer Brandon Maxwell – the longtime stylist to pop singer Lady Gaga – who's a red carpet favorite.
Maxwell, originally from Longview, Texas, became a household name because of his work with Lady Gaga, but has also dressed stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristen Wiig and Uma Thurman.
The guest list was studded with diplomats - including U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, as well as those at the top of their game in the arts, literary and business worlds.
One of the first couples to arrive were the two biggest celebrities at tonight's dinner – Matthew Rhys and his partner Keri Russell, who play Russian spies pretending to be U.S. citizens on the television show 'The Americans.'
'They asked if I had papers,' joked Rhys (snip)
'Now, we all know how seriously Singaporeans take their food,' Obama said.
'In Singapore, even the street vendors – the hawker stalls – earn Michelin stars, which creates some pressure this evening,' he continued.
'We have a lot to live up to,' the president added.
He said he was tempted to have his kitchen concoct some 'Singapore Slings,' a popular pink cocktail

Is that a white stripe down the center of her nose???
The dress by itself is ok. However, a head of state, or their spouse, should not go strapless/bared shoulder. It’s just gauche.
She needs to sue her makeup artist!!
ROFLMAO! :^D
Sure a heck of a lot of diversity and hefty women going on at the White House....I think honorable mention should be given to whoever pours those cows into those dresses.
“”If you saw the recent video of Obama’s daughter twerking and lifting her skirt over her butt at a concert you will notice that only she was doing so among the girls she was with. ..as an example.””
What do you think her parents thought of it - IF they saw it? PROUD PARENTS again?????
“From the waist up, it looks like a toilet seat cover.”
Funniest fashion post EVER ! :-)
.
“”I’d think some kind of low hanging top or shawl over a dress of choice””
My thought too - a burka would be just the ticket!!!!!
I love this place.
She looks like she’d wear a larger jacket size than her husband, at least a 44.
The Fourth Estate has been cheerleaders for Democrats / Marxists and the DNC for more than 50 years.
Not only cheerleaders, but enablers, protectors and mouthpiece. Just look at Cankles current coverage, both broadcast and print.

...”What do you think her parents thought of it - IF they saw it? PROUD PARENTS again?????”.....
Frankly I don’t really care about the Obama’s only in how soon they’ll be leaving our house , more importantly is the fact we see a sitting President go after Trump in order for the focus to be taken off Hillary....
Anybody wonder where why she’s not in the news rather than Obama, Obama isn’t running...and frankly Hillary can’t handle the run...so he’s stepping up to the plate while she recovers..(Again)....the lengths they are going to to not show her physical limitations, and likely mental as well, is astounding!
Mooch hasn’t been taught how to descend a staircase, I see. Was taught as a teen to do that. I bet she ploughed all the way down the steps. LOL!
I postee that vid relentlessly during the ‘coronation’ in 2009. I think it was “Went With The Wind”. XD
