The first lady dazzled in her strapless champagne 1 gown, the creation of an Indian-born designer. On her arm, traditional Indian bracelets 2. The menu eco-friendly and diverse, a potato and eggplant salad made with White House grown arugula. Potato dumplings with chick peas and okra for vegetarians 3 like the honored guest. Caramelized salsify and smoked collard greens for the more epicurious (ph).
Another environmentally conscious touch, the Obamas hiring a new florist 4 for the occasion, the tented dining room adorned 5 with sustainably harvest magnolia branches and ivy 6.
JENNIFER HUDSON, SINGER/ACTRESS: A place for us.
DOUGHERTY: The entertainment -- can't miss headliner Jennifer Hudson, though the White House wouldn't let her performance be photographed. Among the 300-plus guests, Hollywood A-list heavyweights like Steven Spielberg. Big names from network news like Brian Williams, Katie Couric and a brain surgeon we're proud to call our own, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
And the Washington crowd included former Secretary of State Colin Powell, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a slightly bewildered energy secretary.
OBAMA: To the future that beckons 7 all of us...
DOUGHERTY: Even the toasts were short and sweet.
OBAMA: Let our two great nations realize all of the triumphs and achievements that await us. Cheers.
