In pictures: Samantha Cameron US fashion roundup

The Camerons arrive at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington DC for the start of their official visit. She's in Burberry, Joseph and LK Bennett. We know there's a hot pink top under there, but Samcam isn't ready to reveal it Photograph: Rex Features

Hmm. This complimentary styling is starting to look less accidental as Obama's pale Zac Posen tailoring perfectly chimes with Cameron's tri-colour Roksanda Ilincic number Photograph: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA

Cameron's Alessandra Rich sweet but solemn lace dress is a nod to the British fashion industry's cult eveningwear designer. Obama's teal Marchesa ticks the diplomatic box. The label is American but the designer is British Photograph: Carolyn Kaster/AP

Proof that Cameron looks particularly at ease in cropped trousers. But it's the printed blouse that's the triumph here - buttoned up to the top is the approriate "fashion" way to style the blouse, and Cameron evidently knows this Photograph: Stefan Rouseau/PA

The high neckline and the slim sleeve make this an appropriate silhouette for a respectful visit to Ground Zero. This one is by one of her favourite designers, Emilia Wickstead, but it does look remarkably similar to the grey Dior number that Carla Bruni-Sarkozy wore on a visit to the UK in 2008 Photograph: Stefan Rouseau/PA
