What Sophie Wore: Lucian Matis, Aldo, and Zvelle

Huffington Post Canada's Style section confirmed what Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau's Canadian designer was ensemble today for her, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's second day in Washington, D.C. For all three days in Washington, Ms. Gregoire-Trudeau will be wearing head-to-toe Canadian labels, with the help of Jessica Mulroney.

Tonight is the anticipated Canada State Dinner, hosted by President Barack Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Today, Sophie sported a lovely dress from Lucian Matis, pink pointed toe pumps from Zvelle, and a poppy red clutch from Aldo.

Highlights: At first glance, Sophie's bright pink heels and the complimentary pink accents on her dress, grab our attention first.

Significance: The silhouette of the dress is quite conservative and appropriate for the occasion, yet the pattern and cut-out pattern blocking livens up her look and brings energy to this photo op.

Overall: Perfectly executed. We are really pleased with how Sophie wore bright pink pumps instead of a safe poppy red (and playing it super safe), as it brings out the accent on her Lucian Matis dress. Her dress is quite busy, so it was great to have her hair tied back with a polished pony as well to make the dress the focal point.
