For the State Dinner, Dr. Jill Biden Selected a Classic American Label

Tonight, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte will attend President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden’s first state dinner since moving into the White House in 2021. Singer Jon Batiste, musician John Legend, cookbook author Chrissy Teigen, and actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus are among the few hundred people present. The supper will feature red, white, and blue in honour of the flags of both nations as well as “our common values: liberty and democracy, equality and camaraderie,” according to Biden. First ladies Biden and Macron made fashion choices that emphasised the topic of the evening.
Dr. Jill Biden opted for an Oscar de la Renta blue column gown with long sleeves, an off-the-shoulder neckline, and a botanical lace pattern that exposed a lingerie-like interior underneath. She frequently wears Adam Lippes and wore Markarian for the inauguration, and Biden has a history of supporting the next generation of American designers. She continued this trend by selecting Oscar de la Renta, which is currently run by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. Brigitte Macron wore an abstract silver-detailed winter white turtleneck dress with silver jewellery and waistband. For the event, both presidents wore traditional black tuxedos.
