White House Correspondents’ Dinner 2025: See All the Arrivals (Photos)

Despite the night looking different than in years past, a number of stars showed up to support the press on Saturday, April 26

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an annual fundraising event hosted by the White House Correspondents’ Association, has been jokingly called “nerd prom” in the past for the way it mixes journalists, political figures and celebrities for one night in Washington, D.C.

Past years have had some major names in attendance, but the 2025 event, held on Saturday, April 26, may look a little different. Typically, the event is hosted by a comedian, who will lightly roast those in attendance; this year, the WHCA canceled their scheduled host, Amber Ruffin. A statement from the WCHA president Eugene Daniels read in part, “At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists.”

With President Donald Trump being a no-show (he skipped the event in his first term as well), it was likely to be a more subdued affair than usual, but stars including The White Lotus‘ Jason Isaacs, Alex Borstein, Lynda Carter, Michael Chiklis and Dean Norris stepped out in support of the press.
