The Obama administration held its second State Dinner on Wednesday night at the White House. The guests of honor were the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, and his wife Margarita Zavala de Calderon.
First lady Michelle Obama was dressed in a gorgeously stunning cobalt blue shimmery gown that was designed by Peter Soronen, her fourth creation from this designer.
Michelle was sporting a curly hairstyle that we have not previously seen. Earlier in the day it was straight and slicked back — check out the contrasting styles in our gallery below.
The visiting dignitaries were welcomed by President Barack Obama and his wife from the North Portico on Wednesday morning, where school children and Girl Scout troops gathered behind rope lines to witness the military ceremony, including a 21-gun salute and ruffles and flourishes.
There were no reports of gate crashers. During the first State Dinner, Tareq and Michaele Salahi made international headlines when they published photographs of themselves posing with multiple dignitaries, including POTUS.
