Bush In A Blue Dress


Caption this!

Not all world leaders looked entirely at ease during the closing ceremonies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sunday -- not because they didn't come to substantial agreements during the annual summit, but because of an unusual dress code.

After two days of negotiations, APEC's 21 world leaders slipped into traditional Vietnamese tunics, called "ao dai," for this year's group photo at the conclusion of the summit of Pacific Rim states in Hanoi. While the Associated Press says Chinese President Hu Jintau "was positively beaming" in his blue gown, others such as United States President George W. Bush or Russian President Vladimir Putin, though largely bemused by the whole affair, appeared to have some awkward moments in the unfamiliar and colorful garb.
