Lauren Sánchez was among the bevy of high-profile guests who attended the White House state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko Kishida on Wednesday. Sánchez was accompanied by her fiancé Jeff Bezos for the event.

The burgundy gown featured lightweight satin with two types of lace for the ornately sculpted figure with corset inserts. The Rasario dress also featured an off-the-shoulder neckline highlighting Sánchez’s décolletage and collarbones.
