Liz, Phil, Barry, and Michelle

Well, I promised you Her Majesty's trip to Ireland and that you will get.  But because it will be at least a two parter, I've decided to save it for next week as not to break it up over the weekend.  So, to send you off to the weekend (Happy Memorial Day, if you're American), I'm give you one last look at the Obamas with the Royals.  Cheers.

Date:  May 2011
Place:  London
Event:  American State Visit

For their farewell dinner, the Queen stuck with her traditional white gowns with a snazzy pair of metallic shoes and purse.  (Looks like some of her accessories from the Ireland trip--tune in next week!)

Michelle Obama wore a gorgeous black Ralph Lauren gown that somehow managed to top the white, halter Tom Ford gown worn the night before.

Mrs. Obama paired her beautiful gown with some really wacky, crystal costume jewelry made by Tom Binns.  The necklace and bracelet are, according to the designer's website, part of the Dumont collection.  You can see it here.

Well, that's it for this week.  See you next week for some Irish fashions!  Thanks for reading Fashionably Royal.
