Michelle Obama's State Dinner Dress Designed by Indian-Born Naeem Khan

FLOTUS Michelle Obama was a vision of beauty tonight at the first state dinner held by her husband's administration. Mrs. Obama wore a strapless silhouette with the beads forming an abstract floral pattern that was custom-made by Indian-born designer Naeem Khan. Mrs. O wore a matching wrap, a stack of bangle bracelets on her wrist and dangling earrings. The guests of honor at the dinner were Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife, Gursharan Kaur, making Mrs. Obama's choice of the Indian-born, U.S.-based designer seem very appropriate.

Of course, the naysayers will find fault with her attire and the fact that President Obama could throw such a lavish spread while the country is in the throes of a recession, but all I can say is, work that gown Mrs. O! Naeem Khan did a wonderful job and I am sure he will reap the rewards for his labor.
