Sara Bareilles, a favorite of Mrs. Obama and known for her hit, \"Love Song,\" was headlining the after-dinner entertainment.
Singer Sara Bareilles performs her song, \"Brave,\" with the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir, for Michelle and Barack Obama, Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington.
First lady Michelle Obama turned again to one of her favorite designers, Jason Wu, who dressed her in a strapless midnight blue floral jacquard gown with asymmetrical draping.

Trudeau reciprocated by paying tribute to Malia and Sasha, saying he admired them and advising them that their remarkable childhood will give them \"extraordinary strength and wisdom\" for the rest of their lives.
Toasting Trudeau, Obama said, \"Here in America, you may well be the most popular Canadian named Justin\" - a reference to Canadian-born pop star Justin Bieber.
Daughters Malia and Sasha attended their first state dinner. Malia, 17, sat with Oh and Sasha, 14, sat with Reynolds and his wife, actress Blake Lively. Mrs. Obama sat with Fox.
More than 170 guests sporting tuxedos and designer gowns filed in for dinner in the East Room, which was transformed by the addition of cascading arrangements of blooming orchids, hydrangeas and amaranth in shades of green and white intended to evoke the coming of spring - much like Trudeau's election in October has ushered in a new season in Canadian politics.
\"Breath of fresh air,\" ''impressive\" and \"very impressive\" was how some of the guests at a splashy White House state dinner in Canada's honor described the country's new leader.
