The Kid Laroi and his mother Sloane Howard were seen arriving to a star-studded state dinner with President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden at the White House in Washington on Wednesday.
The Australian rap sensation, 20 and Sloane, 51, dressed to impress as they joined a guest list of around 325 at the event hosted for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon.
Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, looked dapper in a long black tuxedo jacket, white buttoned shirt and shiny black shoes.
He was joined by his mother Sloane, who recently had a charge of fraudulently using a credit card to pay for lip filler treatment at a Sydney cosmetic clinic withdrawn.
She looked glamorous in a long figure-hugging black gown, gold strappy heels and a clutch.

In February, Sloane had her charge dropped after she was accused of using a man’s credit card to obtain $849 lip filler treatment.
She’d pleaded not guilty to one count of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
She was also not present on July 11 last year when she was convicted in her absence of the same charge.
The following day Sloane sought to have that verdict vacated with an annulment application which was successful and her not guilty plea was restored.

Police originally alleged Sloane used the credit card details of a John Keith to pay for a lip filler treatment worth $849 at the Laser Clinics outlet at Marrickville Metro shopping centre on August 8, 2018.
Magistrate Susan McIntyre had found the offence proven, fined Sloane $1,000 and ordered her to pay $849 in compensation to Laser Clinic Australia.
The case was listed for hearing in February and no explanation was given for the charge being withdrawn.
Laroi owes much of his success to Solane, whose musical tastes shaped her son’s and who closely manages his affairs.
He has previously discussed the lengths his mother went to in supporting him and his younger brother Austin after her separation in 2007 from her husband, music producer Nick Howard.

After his parents parted ways, Sloane took her sons to Broken Hill in far western New South Wales where she set up a talent agency before returning to Sydney about 2017.
Laroi has spoken at length about his time in public housing and how his family was evicted from one block of units.
Since the Aria-winner broke through to global superstardom in 2020, his mother and Austin have lived in Los Angeles with him.
He has gone on to record duets with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber and recently signed with Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun.
