While their mother, the First Lady, donned a Jason Wu frock,
the First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama made their first State Dinner
appearances in Naeem Khan gowns from the designer’s pre-fall and resort
collections. The dinner was specifically aimed at honoring Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife.
Sasha made an indelible impression wearing an embellished Naeem Khan pre-fall 2015 creation of all silk. The gown, which originally retailed for $17,990, is no longer available for purchase.
Malia on the other hand went darker with a black beaded lace gown that was treated with appliqué from the designer’s resort line-up. That stunner was up on Moda Operandi for $19,990.
Admittedly the dresses were quite expensive for a 17 and 14-year-old. Some in the press have pointed out the price tags. I poked around a bit to see if tax payers are footing the bill and couldn’t find anything definitive though I would anticipate that it’s set up much like Michelle Obama’s arrangement.
The First Lady’s press secretary once released a statement that said that for state visits, clothes are sometimes given by designers and as both of the First Daughters are wearing Naeem Khan, we can take a pretty good guess and say that these were gifts that will be stored by the National Archives.
What did you think of the looks?
