On Saturday night, the 102^nd White House Correspondents’ Dinner was held at the Washington Hilton. The annual event honours political journalists who cover the White House, and also features a star-studded red carpet. This year was certainly no exception, as celebrities like Jaimie Alexander, Emma Watson and Kendall Jenner descended upon Washington, D.C. Here’s a closer look at the most elegant sartorial statements from the evening.

Jaimie Alexander

The 32-year-old actress looked like a classic Hollywood bombshell, as she stepped out in an elaborate strapless black gown with a sweetheart neckline. The curve-hugging silhouette enhanced her enviable figure, while the ruffled detail emphasized the floor-length mermaid hemline. For a finishing touch, Alexander paired her gown with a shimmering diamond neckpiece which brought the focus to her décolletage.

Emma Watson

Staying true to her signature chic style, the 26-year-old actress was a beautiful sight in a strapless floral dress which brought an authentic springtime touch to the red carpet. The frock was adorned with intricate red and blue embroidered flowers, and detailed with oversized white ruffles. The daring thigh-high slit up the front brought a touch of sex appeal, while straight-legged navy blue trousers completed her outfit. Watson accessorized her flirty dress and pants combo with a pair of pointy-toed dark blue pumps.

Kendall Jenner

The 20-year-old model stuck to simplicity and sophistication, as she made a statement in a Vivienne Westwood creation. The black strapless number featured a plunging neckline, draped detail and ruched accents. Meanwhile, Jenner’s eye-catching diamond choker and strappy black sandals brought a timeless touch to her red carpet style.
