Trust a few Hollywood starlets to turn the Beltway into the runway.
A selection of designer gowns won our vote at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, where A-listers mingled with politicians to give Washington, D.C., a dose of glamour.
Sporting a short wavy bob in a striking new shade of crimson, Scarlett Johansson led the pack in a muted blue-gray Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall 2010 cocktail dress featuring crystal details, an embroidered hem, and a deep V-neckline. Chopard's 55-carat, heart-shaped diamond Riviera necklace and 4-carat, platinum-set diamond stud earrings completed the look, along with a champagne satin clutch and nude platform pumps.
Mila Kunis, meanwhile, kept it simply chic in a sexy strapless black Versace Fall 2011 number boasting a structured bodice, leg-baring slit, and pockets accented with gold Medusa logo buttons. Wearing her hair in a tasteful slicked-back bun and sporting smoky gray eyes, the actress accessorized with a black Versace clutch; 18k yellow gold diamond C stud earrings, a Love cuff bracelet, and an onyx panther cocktail ring, all from Cartier.
Anna Paquin supplied a shot of color with her form-fitting bordeaux Hervé L. Leroux asymmetrical gown, which she paired with a vintage House of Lavande ruby cuff, soft makeup, and an elegant chignon.

Last but not least, First Lady Michelle Obama also made a big impression thanks to a chocolate-hued Halston empire-waist gown paired with layered necklaces and stacks of bangles from Irit Designs.
So much for politics as usual!
