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

Maybe obambi wants her to look like a man
Just as pathetic will be the next four years when these same people excoriate Melania...a beautiful fashion model...for her unattractive and inappropriate attire.
She’s trying to copy Mrs. Trump.
OMG...you’re right! That’s just plain ugly.
Looks like a bad re-do of a bad naugahyde tuck-and-roll seat cover.
Still looked too fat-assed, too much high life catered by her team of slaves.
I have never, in my entire life seen a picture of this woman where she is even REMOTELY attractive......The same people that fawn over this monster are the people who attack the gorgeous Stacy Dash....smh....
I understand. And it is up to us, collectively to scorn, ridicule, demonize, ostracize and punish media outlets like the New York Post that publish decades old pictures of her.
While they’re at it, why don’t they drag out the old photos of Vanessa Williams while they’re at it.....oh, I forgot - she is black just like the current first-heifer.
Oops should be fired not would.
Yeah, that is not a good dress.
Looks like the padding from an automobile seat was tied around her!
And isnt white dresses like some sort of racist thing?
yeah, Stacey Dash is a goddess, and in comparison Moochelle must be the devil....
You’re right. Twice the size of Buraq.
Ugh. Really? I like the Singapore lady’s dress better.
My grandma had a bed spread just like that!
On an oversized toilet too.
Wows in white? Seriously? It has all the style of spilled paint. Looks like someone peeled the top off an ice cream sandwich.
Ha ha ha ha ..... good one.
As we all know, liberalism is a mental disorder.
