Actress Scarlett Johansson and her husband and comedian Colin Jost recently made a rare public appearance at the CAA Launch Party, which precedes the White House Correspondents’ Dinner ceremony on Saturday, April 27 at the Hilton of Washington.

At the CAA launch party at La Grande Boucherie, the former Avengers sported a clean look with a three-piece charcoal-colored suit while Jost wore a navy blue suit.
