Dr. Biden wore the outfit to the State Dinner in Paris on Saturday night, along with France’s first woman and president Emmanuel Macron. The dress was outfitted with matching military pumps and stylish drop earrings, a bateau-neck, and extraordinary white sash that drew into a striking train. Through the eyes of Texas-born artistic director Daniel Roseberry, this outfit not merely exhibited her ongoing style evolution through a subdued canvas, but also paid homage to Franco-American fashion collaboration.

This is not the first moment Dr. Biden has chosen Schiaparelli for famous situations. Dr. Biden met with first lady Brigitte Macron in July to celebrate the United States’ re-accession to UNESCO. She donned a pair of black Dior slingback feet. Later, at the event held in the East Room of the White House, she opted for a light Schiaparelli skirt coat with silver statement keys. The outfit offered a mild contrast to Hillary Clinton’s lighter attire, which featured a decorative jacquard jacket.

Her present outfit selection is consistent with her superior yet significant fashion choices when she travels extensively abroad. Dr. Biden continued this tale by wearing a black skirt match with an elegant pattern on it two days prior, accentuating her ensemble with carefully selected accessories.

President Joe Biden’s visit to France, his second state visit to the land, began on Wednesday, marking a historic occasion centered around the remembrance of the 80th commemoration of D- Time. The visit began with a somber meeting at the Arc de Triomphe, where President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron paid homage to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The leaders marched down the traditional Avenue des Champs-Elysees, escorted by European soldiers on horseback, en route to the Elysee Palace, while their wives accompanied them as they paid respect to the veterans of the military. The state attend comes to a nearby following this night’s dinner.
