First Lady Michelle Obama wore a stunning blue and black gown for Tuesday's state dinner in honor of French President François Hollande.
The White House confirmed that designer Carolina Herrera designed the gown, which features a sweeping skirt and delicate lace overlay.
In a statement Tuesday night, Herrera described the gown as "a black hand-sewn beaded embroidery applique scallop-edged top over a liberty blue silk faille corset. A wide black velvet belt breaks up the top from the silk faille inverted pleat skirt."
