President Obama hosted Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Ho Ching at the 12th state dinner of his administration last night in Washington.
The black-tie affair called by the White House a ‘celebration of summer bounty’ marked the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations between the U.S. and the city-state, which Obama refers to as an anchor for the U.S. presence in Southeast Asia.
First lady Michelle Obama donned a strapless, ivory gown by American designer Brandon Maxwell – the longtime stylist to pop singer Lady Gaga.
The guest list was studded with diplomats – including U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, as well as those at the top of their game in the arts, literary and business worlds.
