How do some of these people get to attend this "political event"? Do they draw names out of a hat?

The First Lady and Kim Kardashian were the best dressed women of the evening. Mrs Obama looked stunning in her fitted red gown, outstanding. Modern and classic showing off her fabulous figure. She hardly misses. Great cuffs for jewelry choice too.

Ms Kim shocked me with that stunning "vintage" dress out of her mother's closet. Perfection.

The others looked great but these 2 women hold the Best Dressed Award.

Michelle wins best-dressed by far, in my book.

Here's my take on the dinner as a whole:

omg that beret. What was she thinking with the pearl necklaces and the hat? Did she have a Fay Dunaway dream and had to go there? Kate, you have all the cash in the world, get a stylist for events.

I hope there is a reason for the hat.

That yellow dress isn't very flattering to Jessica Simpson.

it's hard to take the WH Press Corp seriously when this is the garbage that turns up at their event... i have never understood the purpose of a gala event to recognize high-profile people for essentially doing their (very high-paying) jobs... the thought of Kim K in the same room as the Obamas makes me embarrassed for everyone involved

there were about 5 people on that list with legitimate reasoning to be there... what is the world coming to???

I couldn't agree more. Does our government want us to equate the importance of the President of the United States, the leader of our nation with a movie star, or worse, a reality star? Sad really.

Cash Warren (whoever he is) and Jessica Alba win– with Aasif Mandvi and Padma Lakshmi a close second.

Everyone else looks like they are going to a prom or a funeral.

Michelle of course is the Queen and should not be subjected to such petty competitions. Not to mention she would win hands down.

God Dana Delany (pic # 20) is like 50 years old and is way hotter than most women out there!

For those of you who don't know Ms. Delany did the voice of Lois Lane for the Superman Cartoons and Justice League. Now don't roll your eyes, they were actually awesome cartoons. In fact, Ms. Delany has played Lois Lane more than any other actress.

Oh and she is also on Desperate Housewives... and she's extremely hot! I am 25 and id date her!

We should see way more of her on the screen. She is a favorite. Has a great voice too. She even did a juicy movie with Rosie O'Donnell called Exit to Eden. She is active in fighting child hunger.
