‘Buona sera (Good evening). Welcome to the White House and the final state dinner of my presidency,’ he said.
‘But in the immortal words of a great Italian-American, Yogi Berra, ‘it ain’t over till it’s over.’ Michelle Obama dazzled the crowd at her final state dinner as first lady, in a floor-length rose gold chainmail gown.
She showed off her signature toned arms and completed the glamorous look with poker-straight locks.
