Washington, Jan 20 : Michelle Obama hit the state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday night, wearing a dress from late designer Alexander McQueen’s iconic label.

The First Lady wore an off-the-shoulder red gown from the late designer’s Pre-Spring/Summer 2011 collection, reports Radaronline. com.

This was the first of McQueen’s collections designed by his former assistant Sarah Burton, who drew inspiration from Samurai warriors. Anna Paquin wore a dress from the same collection to the Emmy Awards in 2010. (ANI)
