Thanks for being on top of things, lula. Just a little correction here: it's not his first official visit abroad, but his first State Visit. ;)
There will certainly be a gala dinner... I just hope the First Lady will get some fashion advisement before, since her sense of style always seems to come from her grandmother's closet... :devil: :whistling:

Who does know? On Monday we will see the dress, if she repeats or has one new.;)

I believe that the red dress is very difficult to repeat. When a person causes so many admiration and impact with a dress, it is very difficult to return to take it in another act, because always it will seem that you have some intention on dressing it. Probably when more time passes turn it to dressing.
