Red Hot Dresses Rule the Carpet at the White House Correspondents Dinner

It's that special time of year when politicos, journalists, and celebrities congregate at the Washington Hilton for an epic night of revelry and a few well-placed barbs. "Saturday Night Live" cast member Cecily Strong is emceeing tonight's affair which means that there will be jokes a'plenty—many of them no doubt lobbed in President Obama's direction—and the Prez will respond in kind with a few roasts of his own. But before anyone becomes fodder for the evening, they had to traipse the red carpet.

Speakign of red, that seemed to be the color of the night (political allegiances aside of course) for the women at tonight's affair. Tracee Ellis Ross, Jane Seymour, Connie Britton, Julie Chen, Ivanka Trump, and Michelle Monaghan all opted variations of the shade.
