Carolina Herrera has lived in the United States for 28 years, but this past Friday the prolific designer became an American citizen, a feat for which she has been preparing for a long while now.

"I was constantly testing people in my office," Herrera said of her studying habits before her naturalization exam. "I told them, 'With this test, you would never become a citizen. Now I know more than they do," she joked.

After passing the exam, the renowned dressmaker said of the ceremony that she "thought there would be people there waving little American flags and at the end everyone would sing America the Beautiful, but it was very businesslike."

Nonetheless, the Venezuelan designer said, "I have been here for many years, and I love this country very much. I love New York and everything about America. It was very emotional for me."

Awwww! America loves you, too!

Felicidades!
