Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson had their first red carpet appearance as a couple on Saturday. The two celebrities attended this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which took place inside the White House.
Harper’s Bazaar said that the reality star had an invitation on behalf of Disney/ABC following the premiere of “The Kardashians” on Hulu. She arrived at the venue with her boyfriend, who joined her as her guest.
For the special event, Kardashian opted for a shimmery Balenciaga gown. It featured a short train, as well as a high neck, and donned Lorraine Schwartz’s circular diamond studs.
As for Davidson, he wore a classic black Prada suit, on top of a white shirt and a skinny black tie. He completed the ensemble with a pair of black Vans sneakers and black sunglasses.
Reports noted that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is an event that celebrates White House journalists and the media. Trevor Noah hosted this year’s celebration, which saw several notable attendees, including the U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, the First Lady Jill Biden.
People recalled that this was not the first Dinner Kim Kardashian had attended. She was a guest in 2012 and went to the event alongside her mother, Kris Jenner.
