Wearable Art: Michelle Obama Shines (Literally) In Rose Gold At Final State Dinner

It’s official. The Obamas will be vacating the White House soon. And at their last state dinner, the first lady Michelle Obama wowed the world with a custom, rose gold Atelier Versace gown, made with chainmail.

This gorgeous number can now be added to a long list of stunners FLOTUS has worn over the years. And from Jason Wu to Vera Wang, Mrs. Obama has represented her country flawlessly decked out in memorable American-designed creations.

She has also incorporated high fashion from international brands, including Versace.

Donatella Versace says in a statement: “I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to dress the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama. 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.”

As E! Online points out, rose gold is on trend thanks to Kylie Jenner’s dyed rose gold hair, and actresses Blake Lively and Emilia Clarke’s gown selections (coincidentally both by Versace) at the recent 2016 Emmy Awards.

A final thought: Will Michelle Obama’s stunning look serve as a hint to potential daring numbers a FLOTUS might wear in the future? Who knows.

But one thing is certain: First husband Bill Clinton will not be wearing any future-forward numbers in the near future, and I, for one, am ok with that.
