Her journey to Washington DC hit a few bumps along the way but Lindsay Lohan managed to hold it together when it comes to being in the President of the United States’ company.

The troubled starlet finally touched down in the US capital this morning after missing her scheduled flight because she had been partying into the early hours of the morning.

But there were no signs of fatigue for the star who turned up on the red carpet of the prestigious White House Correspondents’ Dinner looking outstanding in a plunging ebony gown.

Lohan complimented her slim line frame in a plunging floor length dress which drew attention to her upper body.

The halter-neck number allowed Lindsay to flash plenty of freckled flesh on her back, arms and of course bust area.

She dared to bare her cleavage in the frock which nipped her in a waist and created more womanly curves on the petite actress.

Plenty of make-up helped the red-head conceal any indication of her hectic schedule.

She slicked on scarlet lipstick to accentuate her already-plumped up pout and created the illusion of more prominent cheekbones with highlighter and bronzer.

She kept her accessories minimal with a delicate necklace, stud earrings and a few bangles on her wrist.

Intense: The actress was pictured sitting at her table surrounded by wine glasses and in deep conversation with an older gentleman

With a star-studded attendance, including the likes of Elle Macpherson, Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara also wearing black, Lohan had to be at the top of her fashion game.

She was later pictured sitting at her table surrounded by wine glasses and talking to an older gentleman.

She also spent time talking to her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, who has regularly represented her during her recent regal troubles.

Lindsay clutched onto what appeared to be two cell phones as she made her way through the throng, which included her friend Kim Kardshian, who was sitting down.

It’s a wonder how she redeemed herself so well after she risked nearly missing out on the chance of being in the presence of President Barack Obama.

The actress had been filming a guest starring role on Glee and was later seen arriving at the hip Hollywood hotel, Chateau Marmont, with a friend after midnight.

She eventually made her way to LAX airport wearing a racy outfit of black leggings, a short jacket and black military style boots.

Later she changed into a more demure white dress with a matching coat and silver heels for a pre-dinner brunch held in Washington’s wealthy Georgetown neighbourhood.
