The White House Correspondents' Dinner was this weekend, and stars from Washington, D.C., and Hollywood descended on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for one of the biggest nights in the nation's capital. Affectionately nicknamed the Nerd Prom, the event was attended by everyone from the First Family to Steven Spielberg to Kim Kardashian to, um, Lindsay Lohan. Everyone dressed to the nines, including Michelle Obama, who looked stunning in her paisley organza gown by Naeem Khan, but there can only be one woman we crown best-dressed. The honor this time goes to Reese Witherspoon. The 36-year-old actress is a mother of two with one on the way, and girl never looked so good.
Reese looked stunning in her floor-length Monique Lhuillier gown that flowed beautifully over her growing belly. Paired with her stunning turquoise and blue topaz (I think?) earrings by Irene Neuwirth and her glamorous old-Hollywood hair, Reese was a show-stopper.
Her ensemble is a great example of how to glam it up when you've got one on the way. The cut-outs at the neckline bring the eye up and away from below, and the earrings and hair are definitely a focal point. Also, she uses a P.O.C. (pop of color) beautifully here -- the color instantly draws in your attention and accents her eyes.
Lindsay Lohan didn't look as classy as Reese (no surprise there), but she did manage to look pretty good. In a long black, halter top gown, LiLo nearly came across as a sophisticated young woman -- then she turned sideways and exposed her side boob. Sigh. So close. I mean, if there's ever a place to not expose a side boob, it's probably the White House.
Kudos to Reese, aaaaand a hearty "good try" to Lindsay.
