Michelle Obama [1] was not the only one who paid tribute to an Italian designer at the state dinner months ago, where the White House hosted Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, Agnese Landini. While Michelle chose a custom Versace piece [2] by Donatella, Agnese stood by her side in Ermanno Scervino, her personal favorite Florence-based label. The style moves didn't end there for Agnese during her trip to Washington DC — she also wore a Valentino lace shift dress earlier in the day to greet the president and FLOTUS [3].
Agnese brings her smart fashion sense all around the world. She's attended runway shows, walked red carpets in dramatic gowns and heels, and embraced bright colors like cherry red and shocking yellow. Read on for a few of her most memorable looks to date, and find out why she's yet another power woman we're keeping our eyes on [4] for inspiration when getting dressed. Now that her husband Matteo has resigned [5], there's no better time to celebrate Agnese's moments in the public eye.
