The pants are doing nothing for her stomach. A simple long black dress would've been better. She was having an off night.

You mean it upset you? And some random internet commenters? She looks great - chic and modern.

It's not close to a state dinner but it was still black tie. You can see every other woman, including Usha who is far from a fashion plate, in a gown. Etiquette would dictate following the crowd and not being significantly overdressed or underdressed compared to everyone else.

I do like it but I think it would've been better for a cocktail reception or something.

Also another pic from the same article. I really like the marigold gown worn by the blond woman who is apparently the First Lady of Louisiana.

This is fine, looks nice. Her being the first lady and her dh are inappropriate in every other way but the outfit is OK, those are fancy pants

It's really not. This was Usha at the same event:



That's just from the waist up but you can see in the pic of her below she is in a floor length gown:



Second-in-Command's wife is in a gown and you're in pants and a blouse? An evening tux like the one she wore last admin would've worked, this is just too casual.

It's not appropriate for a black tie gala. I love her style, and I love this outfit, but it's not the time or place.

As usual, she dresses in a wildly inappropriate way. It must be on purpose, to show disrespect. So rude. What even show up?

That top foto is so airbrushed it looks like AI

I’m generally Team Evening Pants, but I don’t think those are evening enough, and I don’t think they do her hips/midsection any favors.

That wasn't a state dinner, it was a black tie event for GOP governors

When was this state dinner?

Not in Asian cultures. In Asia it’s a color of death and funerals.

In India widows wear white, as do attendees at funerals.
