Chuck Schumer and actress Julia Fox were among some of the early arrivals for Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner – with the unlikely pair raising some eyebrows as they walked side-by-side down the red carpet.
Dressed in a tuxedo for the black-tie event, the 72-year-old Senate Majority Leader posed for multiple photos with the Uncut Gems actress, who last month vehemently denied using diabetes drugs to lose weight during an ill-fated fling with rapper Kanye West.
Known for his bold, sometimes atypical fashion choices, the 33-year-old model opted for a less traditional outfit — donning dramatic facial makeup and a black leather ensemble that would make both Beetlejuice and Kiss proud.
Also seen coming was headline Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr., who recently said his goal as a host is simply to walk away with a job. Other high-profile attendees who poured into the Washington Hilton included Game of Thrones’ Kelly Ripa and Lena Headey.
Dressed to the nines, the amalgam of stars and politicians managed to evade a rambunctious group of climate activists who formed a blockade outside, promising to ban entry.

Others mingling outside the Washington Hilton’s hallowed auditorium included CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and Parks and Rec’s Billy Eichner, with President Biden also set to arrive within the hour.
The youth-led group posing outside previously posted a video accusing the president of committing “ecocide” — a term used to describe the destruction of the environment through deliberate or negligent action.
It has held a series of nonviolent protests in preparation for dinner, with the current procession outside the hotel being the culmination of their efforts.
That said, the chaos outside did little to detract from the festivities at the Hilton about an hour before dinner was due to begin.
