Blake Lively brings Hollywood glamour to the White House

Blake Lively brings Hollywood glamour to the White House

During their tenure at the White House, the Obamas have played host to particularly high-profile state dinners with equally buzz-worthy guest lists. And last night saw the first family welcome Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, and wife Sophie, ushering in a fresh and spirited energy to the White House. Among the guests at last night’s dinner were Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels and Canadian-born actors Michael J. Fox and Mike Myers. Also gliding across the marble floor? Actress Blake Lively, who was joined by her Vancouver-born husband, Ryan Reynolds.

Together, their polished ensembles demonstrated the power of a refined and elegant union between their two home countries. Reynolds’s midnight tuxedo perfectly complements Lively’s dove gray Ralph & Russo robe dress. Lively is never one to miss making a major fashion statement—remember her asymmetrical Chanel couture moment?—but at last night’s dinner, the 28-year-old’s look was sophisticated yet fashion-forward in a fluid frock with hints of skin. Amping up the star wattage were chandelier earrings from Lorraine Schwartz with simple strappy sandals for a sleek, leg-lengthening finish.
