Fans reacted to photos of the estranged couple posted on social media. Some felt that while Cartwright exuded glam, the Kentucky native looked very out of sorts.
“Brittany looks uncomfortable,” one commenter wrote on Instagram.
“Totally agree. A lot of this presentation (lately) seems forced and uncomfortable for her,” another wrote.
“She looks so uncomfortable and needs a stylist and if she had one, she needs to fire that one,” another commenter chimed in.
Others couldn’t understand why the reality TV stars were in attendance for the upscale dinner party to begin with, especially amid their recent separation. “This is throwing me through a loop honestly,” one commenter wrote.
“They are really letting anyone attend the White House Correspondents Dinner these days,” another agreed. “Invited to White House??? Typical insanity,” another added.
Three ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2023

The trio’s arrival came not long after the Scandoval cheating scandal made headlines. Comedian/WHCD host Roy Wood Jr. even referenced the reality TV scandal in his speech. “I don’t know what ‘Vanderpump Rules’ is about, I’ve watched it a couple of times,” Wood said in 2023. “My friends told me it’s like BMF but for white people.”
