Michelle Obama Wears Versace For Final State Dinner
MICHELLE OBAMA wore a custom-made rose gold gown by Atelier Versace for her final White House State Dinner.
A fitting-choice for the event, in honour of the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife Agnese Landini, the first lady has traditionally called on designers that represent the visiting dignitaries’ home country in her eight years at the White House.
"I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to dress the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama,” Donatella Versace said in a statement. “Thank you Michelle for all of the things you have done for America and for the rest of the world, for the women in the United States and the rest of the world."Referencing his wife’s fashion prowess during the evening, as well as that of the Italian first lady, the president said during his speech that he and Renzi had both “married up and because of our wives, we eat better, we dress better, we are better and we thank you both.”
