The President of the United States requests your presence . . . . our friend and Washington D.C. Guest of a Guest Managing Editor, Sophie Pyle, is gearing up for a much anticipated Weekend in Washington. This weekend is the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which means a bevy of beauties, celebs, and media moguls will descend upon our nation’s capital to attend the dinner and its dozens of before, after, and after-after parties. This year the WHCA’s 98th Annual Dinner on Saturday, April 28th will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, ABC TV late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The WHCA Dinner is traditionally attended by the President and First Lady, senior government officials, and members of the press corps. Proceeds from the dinner go toward WHCA Scholarships and awards aimed at supporting aspiring journalists and recognizing excellence in the profession. Who all is attending this years dinner? Well, that is a closely guarded state secret, rumor has it George Clooney and his gal pal Stacy Kiebler will be coming as guests of TIME Magazine, Sofia Vergara and Elizabeth Banks as guests of ABC TV, Daniel Day-Lewis as a guest of Huffington Post, Claire Danes as a guest of CBS TV, Stevie Wonder as a guest of American Urban Radio Networks, and Reese Witherspoon and Viola Davis will be guests of Newsweek–just to name a few. What a star studded celebration!
For what to wear this weekend in Washington we went straight to Saks Fifth Avenue for a trio of looks to take you from cocktail parties on Friday, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday and wrapping up the weekend with a Sunday afternoon invite-only brunch at the Hay Adams Hotel. We chose the ever classic and chic, all-American color scheme of navy dresses accented with silver or gold accessories to add a just the right amount of sparkle. This cocktail ensemble composed of the David Meister lace dress and pearl accessories says elegance and femininity while the Badgley Mischka gown accented with silver Jimmy Choo slings is the perfect combination of sophistication and glamour for the gala dinner. Slip on this comfy-cozy DKNY for a lingering restorative brunch, and a lovely stroll down the mall. What a wonderfully perfect Washington weekend!
