Kerry Washington stuns in crystal gown, more projects
It’s always a treat to see Kerry Washington step out, isn't it? She has a way of commanding attention without ever feeling like she’s trying too hard. Just recently, at the opening gala for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in London, she absolutely shimmered. She wore this breathtaking Oscar de la Renta strapless gown, a strapless column of tiny, reflective crystals that seemed to play with the light like an optical illusion. It’s the kind of dress that makes you lean in, curious about how it was even made. As reported by the sources, it featured a scalloped neckline and an invisible corset, giving it a sleek silhouette.
What I love is how she kept the accessories simple – just some elegant silver hoops and sparkly rings. Her hair was effortlessly sleek, parted down the middle with soft curls, and her makeup was luminous, with a nude lip and a smoky eye. It was a look that felt both modern and timeless, a real testament to her style. This is, after all, the actress who gave us Olivia Pope, and you can still see echoes of that sophisticated power in her fashion choices. Even when she’s playing a humble church-goer in the new Knives Out film, as the articles mention, her off-screen presence is anything but understated.
It’s fascinating to see her also preparing for such a diverse slate of projects. Beyond the upcoming Knives Out installment, which is set to hit Netflix in late 2025 and boasts a star-studded cast including Daniel Craig and Mila Kunis, she’s also working on a limited series based on the Imperfect Woman book and will star in a kidnapping thriller called Animals, directed by Ben Affleck. And let’s not forget her involvement as executive producer on a Desperate Housewives reboot. It feels like she’s truly having a moment, a testament to her talent and versatility.
Then, just a change of scene at a special screening later that night, and Kerry Washington switched gears entirely. She opted for a Carolina Herrera pine-green asymmetric turtleneck dress, complete with the brand’s signature gold tulip brooch. It’s a different kind of glamour, a rich, seasonal feel that makes you think of cozy autumn days, even while looking incredibly chic. It really makes you wonder what other surprises Kerry Washington has in store for us as she continues to navigate the worlds of film and fashion.
