FLOTUS kept her accessories to one cocktail ring and pair of simple drop earrings and wore her hair straight, letting the gown do the talking.

The president and first lady welcomed Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, Agnese Landini, for the fete, which was catered by Mario Batali. According to the Associated Press, the menu included sweet potato ravioli with browned butter and sage, warm butternut squash salad, beef pinwheels and broccoli rabe. Dessert was an apple crostata served with buttermilk gelato. According to the AP, the dishes featured ingredients from Michelle’s garden.

Giorgio Armani, Rachael Ray and Chance the Rapper were also in attendance. Gwen Stefani is also expected to perform after the dinner.

“Today is bittersweet for Michelle and I because this marks the final official visit and state dinner of my presidency,” President Obama said earlier in the day. “But it’s OK. We saved the best for last.”

The glamorous event comes ahead of the final presidential debate on Wednesday, October 19, between presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
