Medium shot of Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein walks with wife Georgina Chapman, who designed the dress First Lady Michelle Obama wore\u003cbr/\u003eWednesday's giant state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife - the biggest ever thrown by Barack and Michelle Obama - dished up a potent mix of celebrity glam, corporate heft and political money under a giant party tent on the South Lawn. \u003cbr/\u003eIt is an election year, after all.\u003cbr/\u003eThe entertainment lineup also included a little something special for both couples: The Obamas are big admirers of Grammy-winner John Legend, and David and Samantha Cameron are huge fans of Mumford \u0026amp; Sons, a British folk rock band also performing.\u003cbr/\u003eObama, for his part, also is a big fan of \"Homeland\" actor Damian Lewis, who said on his way in that he planned to ask the president how he ever finds time to watch TV. \u003cbr/\u003eAmong the 360 people who scored golden tickets to the dinner were actor George Clooney, billionaire Warren Buffett, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, businessman Richard Branson, Apple's Jony Ive and movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, a big fundraiser for Obama's re-election campaign.\u003cbr/\u003eIn fact, more than 30 of the biggest financial backers of Obama's bid for a second term made the cut, according to an Associated Press review of the guest list.\u003cbr/\u003eOthers who made the list: Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern, both of \"Downton Abbey\" fame, and Rory McIlroy, the new world No. 1 golfer. In advance of the big night, the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland was so excited he tweeted a photo of himself being fitted for his dinner suit. \u003cbr/\u003eOne anticipated guest - at least by the Camerons - was just not to be, a possible mix-up caused by what George Bernard Shaw called two nations separated by a common language. \u003cbr/\u003eDavid Cameron revealed at a luncheon that his wife was thrilled to learn that her favourite movie star was coming.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Is it Ben Kingsley from ``Gandhi' or Peter O'Toole from ``Lawrence of Arabia?\"' Cameron asked.\u003cbr/\u003e\"No, it's Chevy Chase from ``Caddyshack,\"' his wife told him.\u003cbr/\u003eThe only Chevy Chase on the invitation list, however, was the Washington suburb of Chevy Chase, Maryland, listed as the home address of one invitee.\u003cbr/\u003eA memo went out that blues were the colour of the night. \u003cbr/\u003eBoth first ladies and a healthy share of their guests turned up in the colour.\u003cbr/\u003eMrs. Obama wore Marchesa, to the delight of Weinstein and his wife, Georgina Chapman, the designer of the first lady's gown. \u003cbr/\u003eThe White House made sure to save a seat at the table for more than 30 of Obama's top fundraisers - the so-called bundlers who each have helped raise at least 50,000 US dollars for the president's re-election effort.\u003cbr/\u003eA number of coveted seats went to supporters who have raised between 200,000 and 500,000 US dollars for Obama, and at least nine went to donors who have raised more than half-a-million dollars for his campaign, according to the AP review. \u003cbr/\u003eThey include Weinstein, New York financier Orin Kramer and Miami public policy consultant Joseph Falk.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Obama campaign said it had no comment on the donor-heavy guest list.\u003cbr/\u003eBig names sat at the head table, Clooney included. But also Elaine Brye, a Winona, Ohio, mother of four children serving in the military. Mrs. Obama invited Brye after she wrote to the first lady about her campaign to support military families.\u003cbr/\u003eThe entire menu was a UK-US blend, featuring bison Wellington, using buffalo tenderloin from North Dakota instead of beef. It also included crisped halibut served on braised baby kale from the White House garden. \u003cbr/\u003eThe salad greens, too, came from the White House backyard.\u003cbr/\u003eThe meal was all about fostering that oft-spoken-of \"special relationship\" between the US and Britain. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd so while the prime minister is not a head of state, making this an \"official visit\" rather than a \"state visit\" by the Camerons, the Obamas nonetheless chose to call it a \"state dinner,\" with all of the attendant ceremony and pomp.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
