Wow!! She's gorgeous.:eek:

Yo Yo Ma and Jackie Chan were there too. And Vera Wang.

And Maya Lin, Bill and Hillary, Jimmy and Rosalyn, Barbra Streisand, and Anna Wintour.

She needs to find a new designer who can help make her look less like the walking dead. :eek:

Vera Wang's own dress choices have seemed rather :scream: to me.

Aren't costume and fashion designers notoriously bad dressers? Or did I make that stereotype up?

:rolleyes: Really, Ms. Wang.

Sarah Hughes often seems to favor cocktail dresses that are just an inch or two too short, but Michelle Kwan seems to just as often go for ones just a bit too long. This is a beautiful dress -- and she's got the figure for it -- but I think it would be absolutely spectacular just above the knee.

Perhaps in a different setting. But above the knee might be pushing propriety at a state dinner where a long gown is the norm.

Anna Wintour looks pretty harsh too in the photograph from the dinner. I don't think that hairstyle does her many favors, and the jacket on the dress is meh. And she's supposed to be the queen (or wicked witch) of fashion.

I thought about that too but then this is a State dinner. Not sure about the above the knee hemline policy.

No, they were serving apple pie for dessert. :P

Well, I heard that Michelle had smuggled in a piece of chocolate cake--guess security was half-baked. ;)

MK!

Michelle Obama's dress was interesting but I thought she could have left out the black wrap. I suspect His Excellency The President of China dyes his hair.
