All eyes were on Michelle Obama when she arrived at the China State Dinner held Friday at the White House in Washington, D.C.
The First Lady looked effortlessly posh, donning an off-the-shoulder black silk crepe mermaid gown by designer Vera Wang, as she welcomed China's president, Xi Jinping, as the evening's guest of honor.
The beautiful custom gown features an architectural V-neckline and tulle sleeves, accented by a hand-draped silk textural organza pleated skirt.
Obama took to social media to share a photo from inside the dinner party, and, of course, that dress.
"First glance at tonight's China State Dinner," the 51-year-old tweeted.

There were over 200 guests in attendance, including Empire co-creatorLee Daniels, political scientist Henry Kissinger, ballet dancer Misty Copeland, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and entertainment industry executives, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Before guests arrived, Obama teased a few other sneak peeks of the event.
"Crossing the t's and dotting the i's for tonight's China State Dinner," she shared on Twitter.
Ahead of the dinner, President Barack Obama and the first lady greeted Xi and his wife with a 21-gun salute on the South Lawn and a red carpet ceremony. Following photos, Barack and Michelle shared a sweet moment, which was captured on video.
"May I just say, you look stunning," POTUS says to his wife.
