Chrissy Teigen’s no-holds-barred personality is often reflected in her bold and daring red-carpet fashion choices. It was no different when she attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April 2023 with her husband, John Legend.
The then-37-year-old socialite paraded her shapely legs in a sheer lilac ruffled gown from Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika’s Spring 2022 collection.
It had a billowing tulle bodice, a cleavage-baring plunging neckline, and a flattering crystal-embellished midsection designed to cinch her waist. The bottom part featured a softly pleated floor-sweeping skirt with a hip-high slit that gave onlookers a glimpse of her knickers.

The revealing front cut also allowed the Cravings founder to show off her feet in the Aquazzura “Moonwalk” sandals.

Representative Disses Chrissy Teigen’s Leg-Baring Gown
While there is no dress code for the White House, Representative George Santos did not hold back as he shared his thoughts on the red carpet outfits from the recent White House event.
“The racks at Kohl’s & Macy’s have to be empty after the amount of off-the-rack dresses I’ve seen so far from last night. “But before we dive into the rack gowns … What in the world was Chrissy Teigen wearing?”

Known to speak her mind, Teigen quoted Santos’ tweet and quickly hit back at New York’s 3rd Congressional District representative.
“I’m all for some good shit talking but this is a legitimately great dress,” she wrote along with a clip of her and Legend posing on the red carpet.
What Fans Are Saying About Teigen’s White House Outfit
Fans and critics of Chrissy Teigen’s outfit gave it mixed reviews. Some praised her bold style, while others dissed the revealing ensemble.
One came to her defense, saying, “Not only is that dress amazing and highlights the right features, but I’m guessing a lot of women at the WHCD do shop at Kohl’s and Macy’s. Many of them are regular journalists, not celebrity invites or the small percentage of nationally syndicated news anchors.”
“It’s completely unsurprising that @Santos4Congress has no taste whatsoever,” another commented. On the other hand, one commenter compared the gown to “toilet paper stuck to a sparkly shoe.”
