.State dinners used to be white tie and tails, then Jimmy Carter decided it was too formal/ostentatious for his administration and they dialed it down to dinner jackets/long dresses. White tie/tails returned with Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush, but the Clintons, like the Carters, opted for dinner jackets and long dresses. George W didn’t like super formal, so he maintained the practice.
