Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris Make Red Carpet Debut at White House Correspondents Dinner in Coordinated Outfits from Harbison Studio

Sophia Bush, the actress known for her role in 'One Tree Hill,' made a surprise appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 27, 2024, accompanied by her girlfriend Ashlyn Harris. The couple made their red carpet debut in coordinated outfits from Harbison Studio.

Bush and Harris have been open about their relationship since Bush came out as queer in an essay for Glamour magazine earlier this year. In the essay, Bush revealed that she had grown closer to Harris during a difficult time and eventually fell in love with her.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner is an annual event attended by journalists, politicians, and celebrities. This year's host was Colin Jost from Saturday Night Live. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were also in attendance.

Harbison Studio is a luxury fashion brand founded by Charles Elliott Harbison in 2013. The brand has worked with several high-profile designers and celebrities, including Beyoncé, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Ava Duvernay.

Bush wore a strapless black dress with a corset bodice and flower-shaped buttons on the front. She paired the frock with metallic sandals and gold rings. Harris donned a textured black jacket with pointy gold buttons, matching black pants, and leather shoes.

Despite facing accusations of being a home-wrecker after her romance with Harris was reported, Bush declared these claims to be untrue in her Glamour essay. She emphasized that neither she nor Harris had cheated on their respective partners before they met and grew closer as friends.

Bush's marriage to entrepreneur Grant Hughes ended in August 2023 after just over a year. Harris, who played on the US women's national soccer teams in 2015 and 2019, filed for divorce from her wife Ali Krieger around the same time.

The couple faced backlash from some quarters due to their high-profile status and the fact that they both had been married previously. However, Bush remains unapologetic about her relationship with Harris and is proud to be a part of the queer community.
