Chrissy Teigen, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Katie Couric get playful at White House Correspondents dinner

WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- Model Chrissy Teigen and American journalist and author Katie Couric showed off their toned legs while posing for pictures alongside actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum at the White House Correspondents dinner aka Nerd Prom on Saturday.

The trio was being photographed in a tight embrace when the slit on Teigen's beaded gown revealed much of her left thigh and leg, which Dewan-Tatum jokingly caressed.

Moments later Couric jumped in on the action and moved her dress back to reveal her own legs in another picture.
