How to Dress for the White House Correspondents Dinner
17 Gorgeous Gowns From The White House Correspondents' Dinner
These fashion looks are no joke!
The White House Correspondents' Dinner is an opportunity for the president to poke fun at the media and his fellow politicians. But in addition to all the journalists in attendance, a few celebrities are always on the guest list. Stars like Kendall Jenner, Kerry Washington, and Ashley Graham made a red-carpet appearance for the Nerd Prom—as it's affectionately nicknamed. A few even got a cameo in President Obama's speech (hey, Helen Mirren). See all the amazing designer looks from this weekend's event ahead.
