Naeem Khan on Designing for Michelle Obama’s First State Dinner: “I Feel So Happy”

Jason Reed/Landov

First Lady Michelle Obama made Jason Wu a household name when she wore his white gown to the presidential Inaugural ball, and she’s bound to have the name Naeem Khan on the tongues of women across the country over the holiday after wearing one of his designs to her first, India-themed, State Dinner last night in Washington D.C. “I feel so happy to be a part of this historical event between the two countries where my heart lies,” the India-born designer tells PEOPLE. “I am relieved to have a job well done and am so honored to have been chosen. This is a Thanksgiving in its truest form for me and one that I will never forget — an American dream coming true.” The designer, who immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager, looked to the theme of the dinner to create Mrs. Obama’s one-of-a-kind sterling silver sequin dress with an abstract floral motif, which the First Lady accented with dramatic Bochic earrings. No wonder Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh said in his toast that he was “overwhelmed…by the grace and charm of the First Lady.”

Katie Holmes is bringing her premium designer collection to the East Coast! The star, who has teamed up with her stylist Jeanne Yang to design a high-end women’s and children’s clothing line, stepped out in Boston this weekend in a red-hot dress from her Holmes & Yang line. While we have seen Katie rocking her own designs on the red carpet, first for the Tropic of Thunder movie premiere and then at her Broadway debut, this is our first peek at her children’s line — and who better to show it off than her equally fashionable daughter Suri Cruise? Mother and daughter each put their own spin on their fiery frocks. Katie adds tough boots and a black blazer, while Suri’s look is completed with leggings and sweet Mary Janes. Katie and Suri’s dresses are available exclusively at Maxfield by special order (call (310) 274-8800 to order) and both come in navy or cream as well as red.

FIRST LOOK: Khloe Kardashian’s Wedding Dress

Meet the Famous

She might not have had much time to prep for her wedding, but Khloe Kardashian still managed to find the perfect white wedding dress for her marriage to L.A. Lakers player Lamar Odom this past Sunday. The youngest Kardashian sister looked every bit the blushing bride in a body-hugging white strapless dress, cinched with a jeweled powder-blue sash that flowed elegantly into a massive train of soft tulle. Khloe ditched the veil and chose to keep her long hair tousled in sexy beach waves — a perfect look for her backyard wedding.
