They posed for a few seconds, continuing to converse during the photo session, before heading inside.

The US President and the King were dressed in black tailcoats for the state dinner, while the First Lady and the Queen wore pink gowns: the Queen in a darker shade and the First Lady in a lighter one.

According to Buckingham Palace, the Queen wore an evening gown by Fiona Clare with an amethyst and diamond necklace, originally given by the former Duchess of Kent to Queen Victoria, which then passed to Queen Mary. Camilla did not wear a tiara, an unexpected departure from typical royal protocol for senior female members of the British Royal Family attending state dinners.

The First Lady wore a gown by Christian Dior Haute Couture, cream-colored suede gloves by Dior, and Dior pumps in light delphinium blue silk.
