White House counselor Jared Kushner flouted the white tie rule on the invitation for the annual Gridiron dinner on Saturday night and wore a tuxedo instead.
Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself and her husband headed out for the evening with the caption 'hot date.'
But it's a mystery why Kushner dressed down a level and donned a tuxedo - and a navy one at that - to one of the most formal events on Washington D.C.'s social calendar.
Especially since he wore white tie to last year's Gridiron dinner.

For the event in 2018, Jared wore a white-tie tuxedo while Ivanka wore a black-and-white ballgown
Some men at Saturday's Gridiron dinner were heard giving some good natured grumbling that they were in tails and a cummerbund while Kushner was in the relative comfort of a tux.
Kushner stood out in his tuxedo in a sea of men all in white tie.
The exclusive, invitation-only event, specifically calls for white tie on the invite.
