The White House pulled out all the stops for Kenya’s President William Ruto and his wife Rachel with a State Dinner that included celebrity guests, a succulent menu and electric performances.
US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden ensured no expense was spared in honouring Kenya, one of their closest allies in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Kenya first couple were accompanied by three of their daughters and were all pictured on the red carpet ahead of the evening’s entertainments – as seen above.
State Dinners are organised by the first lady and her staff and involve much pomp and circumstance.
The invitation list, menu, flowers – all pink orchids and red roses for Thursday – and table settings are all meticulously planned.
