FRENCH FIRST LADY HOSTS JAPAN'S CROWN PRINCE

                    Brigitte Macron Fetes Japan’s Crown Prince in—What Else?—Louis VuittonLast night at Versailles, French First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito for a lavish state dinner. And while her look for the occasion was created by her go-to Parisian designer—Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton—the elegant metallic minidress also, fittingly, paid tribute to Asian culture.

The First Lady has previously embraced a neutral palette of white, gold, and silver for state dinners, so last night's dress felt like a fresh new direction. The shimmering lilac dress featured a mock neck top three-quarter sleeves that lent a demure refinement to her signature A-line mod silhouette.

The Asian-inspired floral brocade infused the look with a painterly touch, while bold jewelry—a geometric sapphire and diamond ring and watch with criss-crossed lavender leather straps—lent sophisticated sparkle. A coordinating metallic silver clutch and mirror-finish stilettos were shining finishing touches.
