MODEST MARVEL: Celebrity Fashion at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner

Here in DC, it's rare to have a celebrity sighting.  We're not New York or LA, and for the next 4 years, our only grade A celebrity sighting is Obama (though I've yet to see him in front of me - soon enough!)

However, once a year a magical thing happens - the White House Correspondents Dinner - when all the mystical celebriticism of Hollywood comes crashing down for a night of goodwill and jester towards American journalism (and lately, American journalism is the butt of many jokes...but that's my political rant for another time.)

Here are our favorite modest dressing celebrities from this year's event.  Which dress do you like the most?

Emily Mortimer, of Shutter Island, Cars, and 30 Rock fame:
