A slew of famous faces and political figures descended upon the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening for the opening night of Les Misérables.
The star-studded guest list certainly did not disappoint, with President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and his spouse, Usha Vance, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his partner, Cheryl Hines, all gathering to watch the iconic musical.
Many of them did not disappoint with their looks, turning heads on the red carpet with glamorous dresses or handsome tuxedos.
Some, however, completely missed the mark with their ensembles, arriving in eyebrow-raising outfits.
From bizarre feathers to frumpy frocks, the event was filled with both fashion wins and sartorial nightmares.
Donald, 78, kept it classy as he opted for a simple, black tuxedo as he arrived holding hands with Melania.
The First Lady, 55, for her part, donned a $3,900 black Bottega Veneta dress that contained a conservative neckline and gold embellishments on her hip and shoulders.
She exuded elegance and glamour in the chic gown, which she paired with silver and bronze striped Christian Louboutin heels, which usually sell for around $1,000.

Donald and Melania’s appearance at the play brought some controversy with it, as it was reported that some of the play’s cast members were boycotting.
When asked about it outside the event, Donald stated defiantly, ‘I couldn’t care less. Honestly, I couldn’t. All I do is run the country well.’
When the Trumps entered the theater, there were cheers and applause and a USA chant – and also some boos.
It comes after Donald announced that he would be firing the board of the Kennedy Center – named for the late Democratic president – and naming himself chairman.
