Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House with his wife for the first time this morning, but though the event was meant to mark the meeting of two great allies, so far it's the fashion that's stealing the show.
Trudeau's wife Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, 40, and Michelle Obama, 52, were an incredibly chic pair during the arrival ceremony, enjoying the unseasonably warm Washington D.C. day in knee-length skirts and heels.
In fact, Trudeau and President Obama may have felt quite overshadowed by the lovely ladies, who waved to the assembled crowd in a pair of pretty designer dresses.

Fast pals: Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Grégoire-Trudeau seemed to be having a great time as they laughed and talked
Fashion first: President Obama and Prime Minister Trudeau looked polished as well, but their wives stole the show
She went the classic route with accessories and styling, slipping into a pair of black, pointed-toe patent pumps and likely getting a bit overheated in the 75-degree heat with a three-quarter-sleeve coat.
Mrs.Grégoire-Trudeau, on the other hand, went coat-free, showing off her floral sheath dress by Romanian-born Canadian designer Lucian Matis.
She got more experimental with add-ons, too, picking a scalloped red clutch with a laser-cut pattern and red-and-pink striped heels.
Afterward, the two headed inside together for an event for Let Girls Learn, an initiative started by Mrs. Obama to promote education for the 62 million girls around the world who don't have access to it.
Hey there! The two ladies has a chance to put their style on display as they waved to the crowds

Center of attention: Both well-dressed women stole the spotlight from their powerful husbands
Of course, despite both having a reputation for being fashion-forward, there's no rivalry between these two women, who spent a portion of the sunny morning laughing and talking in front of the press.
In fact, Sophie recently spoke too Katie Couric for a Yahoo News interview in which she shared her admiration for her her US neighbor.
'I think there's lots of authenticity in her personality and the way she connects with people,' she said of Mrs. Obama. 'What I admire is the causes that she's undertaken… Talking about nutrition and exercise with American people.
'And I think that everything that has to do with girls' education is important to her, and it's also so close to my heart. Gender empowerment. Having more justice and equality in our society, for me, is huge. So yeah, I absolutely admire her path.'
For the girls: The women attended an event for Let Girls Learn, Mrs. Obama's education initiative
Sing-along: They sang and danced with school children who performed at the U.S. Institute of Peace
Well done! They applauded at the end of the performance, which was part of Mrs. Obama's Let Girls Learn efforts
Tonight, the powerful spouses will show off their style once again at the White House State Dinner, where they're sure to wow in glamorous gowns.
But while she seems to like getting dressed up, or at least, she does it wel. Mrs. Obama admitted last year that's she actually looking forward to being able to buy the inexpensive stuff and dress down once she leaves the White House.
'I wanna go to Target,' she told Stephen Colbert, also adding that she can't wait to drive again and even be allowed to open windows. 'If the window opens, if I press it in the car, everyone's like, "Oh my God, what was that?"'
