Dec. 2 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and more than 300 guests Thursday night for the first State Dinner at the White House since he took office nearly two years ago.
The tuxedoed affair was held on the South Lawn of the White House inside a spacious winter greenhouse outfitted with carpet, long dining tables, silver candelabras, and ambient chandeliers.
Biden and Cabinet officials were joined at the dinner by actors Kurt Russell and Jennifer Garner, singer John Legend and late-night talk host Stephen Colbert.
Dozens of military leaders, business executives, and Washington lawmakers were also on hand, including House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and his wife.
