Top 6 Looks from the White House Correspondents Dinner

 This was probably the biggest, and best, surprises of the night last night at the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner. Gillian Jacobs, of "Community" fame, stepped out on the red carpet wearing a custom Peter Pilotto gown with a stunning abstract print. For such a political occasion we usually see prints set to the wayside but Gillian embraced it, and also kudos to her for picking a British designer to wear for one of the biggest political events in America.
A slew of other beauties really brought it to the red carpet last night as well. I loved Jenna Dewan-Tatum in her black Reem Acra ballgown that features a grey bodice peplum. Jenna oozed 1960's Hollywood glamour. Supermodel Chanel Iman looked impeccably chic wearing a Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 Couture light blue chiffon goddess gown. Chanel was the only lady to show up wearing couture and she wore it amazingly. Brit Marling was another lady who decided to pick up a gown from a British designer, like Gillian, but her gown came via Roksanda. This gown was absolutely amazing, the stunning bold color and the even bolder color blocking. Last year Irina Shayk wore an Atelier Versace hooded jumpsuit, which I thought was extremely tacky, so this year her light pink Sophie Theallett halter silk gown was a welcome sight. She exuded elegance and shunned her normal overt sexiness, and in the process looked even more stunning. Michelle Monaghan looked impeccably chic wearing a custom made maroon and black Prabal Gurung gown, which I actually thought was Roland Mouret. This look would have been my best dressed if Michelle had done something else with her hair, it really let the whole look down.

What do you think? Who was your best dressed? Anyone you see here that you don't think should be? Anyone you think I should have added?

2015 White House Correspondents Dinner: Michelle Obama Wish List

First Lady Michelle Obama will be on hand on tomorrow night for the White House Correspondents Dinner, along with a host of VIPs like Jane Fonda, Ciara, Chrissy Teigan, Lucy Liu, Connie Britton, Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Michelle Monaghan, and Julie Bowen. What the difference between the VIPs and the First Lady is that Michelle will only be photographed from mid-thigh up as she takes her seat at the head table at the dinner. It is a shame because I would have loved to have seen the head to toe looks of many of the gowns that Michelle has worn to the White House Correspondents Dinner. While I would love to see this water inspired Carolina Herrera Fall 2015 RTW a line dress worked on the red carpet by the likes of Camilla Belle or Dianna Agron so that we could see the full dramatic shape of the gown, I would still love to see the First Lady wear it tomorrow night. I pick a gown for Michelle for the White House Correspondents Dinner based on the tops visual interest, and the water pattern embroidery on this gown definitely has that visual interest.
