Six-time Grammy Award winning artist John Legend and actress and singer-songwriter Emmy Rossum were among the celebrities and VIPS in attendance at the W Washington D.C. Grand Opening Celebration in downtown. Also in attendance were TrenDC’s Paul Wharton and Reggie Love, President Obama's Body Man, who all walked the “purple carpet” under the glow of the luminous purple “W” sign of the lavish hotel. The W is the closest hotel to the White House, and acclaimed designer Dianna Wong has redesigned the historic Hotel Washington, infusing bright colors and contemporary design while preserving the building’s Beaux Arts architecture.
