Meridian International Center | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL DIPLOMATIC DANCE Glamorous guests in their best black-tie finery flocked to the 48th Annual Meridian Ball, taking a strictly non-partisan night off to dine at ambassadorial residences (or White-Meyer House) before converging on Meridian International Center for desserts and dancing. The highly anticipated event marked a rare opportunity to mix and mingle in a crowd that ranged from political, diplomatic and business VIPs to a hoard of energetic millennials who danced up a proverbial storm in the party tent until the wee hours. The ball benefits the Center’s programs to prepare international leaders for a complex global future. VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS AT WWW WASHINGTONLIFE COM
