"The first White House state dinner of President Joe Biden’s administration drew big names Thursday from fashion, entertainment, politics and business who turned out to help celebrate French President Emmanuel Macron and the return of large social events after the pandemic.
There were kisses 💋💋 all around as the Bidens stepped out
on the North Portico to welcome the Macrons — Jill Biden in an off-the-shoulder navy Oscar de la Renta gown, Brigitte Macron in a high-necked ivory one by Louis Vuitton. 🤪
Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert said nothing as guests passed through a White House decorated for the holidays and boarded trolleys for the ride down the South Lawn to a heated 🥶 party tent. 🥳🥳

Instead of the traditional venue of the State Dining Room, the Obamas will dine with a few hundred VIPs in a heated tent 🥶⛺️ on the South Lawn, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Dee Dee Myers, who was former President Bill Clinton's press secretary, said lobbying by people seeking an invite had probably been relentless.
"The first (state dinner) is always the most dramatic," Myers said. "First impressions are important. That's your A list, that's your top game right there. ⛺️🤣
Myers said the Clintons took some guff about their tented affairs from critics who judged them "too Arkansas, too big and not exclusive enough."
