First Lady Michelle Obama charmed once again in a dress by Carolina Herrera this Sunday as she and the President arrived in Cuba for a three-day historic visit. The Herrera dress was sleeveless and featured a red and white floral print.

 
This isn’t the first time the First Lady has worn clothes by Carolina Herrera, a designer known for her sophisticated and elegant apparel. The First Lady also wore a chic Carolina Herrera light blue dress when greeting Pope Francis when he arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in September 2015, as well as a black and white ball gown at a State Dinner at the White House in 2014.

Carolina Herrera, born in Caracas, Venezuela, presented her first self-named capsule collection in 1981 with the encouragement of Diana Vreeland, legendary Vogue Editor-in-Chief. In addition to First Lady Michelle Obama, she also dressed Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis beginning in 1982.
