It’s taken longer than usual, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s finally here: Nearly two years after assuming office, President Joe Biden’s first state dinner, honoring France, took place Thursday at the White House, giving first lady Jill Biden a chance to show off her hostess skills for America’s oldest ally.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his first lady, Brigitte Macron, joined the Bidens, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff and more than 300 guests in a pavilion on the South Lawn for a dinner that Jill Biden described as “an expression of welcome and friendship.”

“It’s a way to connect through a language that transcends words,” she said at a media preview of the dinner details on Wednesday. The Bidens greeted the Macrons at the North Portico; Jill Biden wore a black sparkling Oscar da la Renta dress, co-designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim confirmed to the Washington Post. Brigitte Macron dazzled in a high-necked ivory dress by Louis Vuitton.
