On Saturday night at the Washington Hilton hotel, the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner brought out some of the biggest names in politics, media, entertainment, and — believe it or not — fashion. As the most glamorous red carpet event of the year in Washington D.C., plenty of Hollywood's most buzzed-about stars came to support President Barack Obama, whose zinger-filled speech rivaled that of the evening's host, Conan O'Brien. Our favorite look of the evening was a black and white Wes Gordon gown that was worn by the star of political drama Scandal, Kerry Washington, but there were a number of other ladies who caught our attention as well. Both Homeland star Claire Danes and House of Cards' Kate Mara chose gowns by Prada, while singer Katy Perry stunned in a green Giambattista Valli gown and Emily Mortimer of The Newsroom looked effortless in a scarlet gown by Oscar de la Renta.
