Scarlett Johansson and Anna Wintour are hosting a fashion event in New York City to benefit President Obama's reelection campaign. Other notable attendees include Beyoncé, Vera Wang, Sean Combs (Diddy) and Marc Jacobs. Tickets start at $250. The event is part of Runway to Win, a project by fashion designers designed to bolster the president in 2012.
The downside risk for President Obama is that too many high fashion celebrity events like this one could make the president seem out of touch in an election season where the top issues are jobs and a struggling economy.
