DUBAI: Celebrities hit the red carpet at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday, including model Chrissy Teigen who showed off a gown by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika for the occasion.
The beaded gown, with its shirt-like bodice and hip-high slit, hailed from Hobeika’s Spring/Summer 2022 Couture collection.

The White House Correspondents' Association dinner — known for its fun albeit ferocious jabs at Washington — took a more solemn tone this year as President Joe Biden acknowledged the several American journalists under siege in countries around the world, The Associated Press reported.
Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger opened the dinner with a pre-taped video about the importance of a free and independent press. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were seated on the stage along with comedian Roy Wood Jr., a correspondent for “The Daily Show,” who was the featured entertainer.
