Pick your jaws up off the floor and then grab the tissues, people. It’s Michelle Obama’s final state dinner, and she looks absolutely radiant in a shimmering rose gold chainmail gown by Atelier Versace.
We have tried to not cry because it’s over but smile because it happened for weeks. But between Monday’s epic T Magazine salute to the first lady and this glowing appearance in the custom-made, bad-ass dress of our dreams, we’ve officially been pushed to our breaking point. We’ll miss you, FLOTUS!
But while we’re sobbing into our first lady-approved kale smoothies, the dinner, held Tuesday night at the White House in honor of visiting Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, Agnese Landini, sounds like a bona fide party. With Mario Batali in the White House kitchen, Gwen Stefani providing entertainment, and Obama boldly saluting a famous Italian fashion house, our favorite first family is going out on a high note.
Here’s a look back at some of Michelle Obama’s best state dinner moments:
