Rex FeaturesKerry looked incredible at the 2015 GLAMOUR Awards. Dressed in figure-hugging David Koma separates, her bejewelled centre-parted skirt, glittery clutch and bandeau crop top prove that black is anything but boring.
Getty ImagesMiss. Washington looked every inch the red carpet veteran in her cut-out lace dress from Self-Portrait at a glitzy New York event. The look showed off Kerry’s daring style with its subtle but classy flash of skin.
Getty ImagesKerry Washington was belle of the Met Ball in 2015 in this traffic-stopping voluminous cotton candy pink Prada gown. The jade green satin stilettos and matching box clutch may clash but, boy, does she work it! Now where’s her Prince Charming?
Getty ImagesWoah, we love this black and white ruffled Giambattista Valli dress that Kerry plumped for at the Variety Studio Actors event in LA in 2015. She teamed it with Bionda Castana heels, upswept hair and bold pillar-box red lips for maximum impact.

Getty ImagesSlipping on an emerald green crinkled-effect Alexander McQueen frock, Kerry scored major style points. But the 38-year-old’s hair and make-up caught our eye too. We love her shoulder-skimming tresses, fluttery lashes and slick of pink lippie.
Getty ImagesKerry stunned at her first post-pregnancy red carpet appearance in April 2014. She opted for a Max Mara abstract skirt and classic plunging neckline at an LA event, and wore her hair in loose tousled waves.
Getty ImagesKerry really worked her pregnancy look at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards, baring her bump in her daring custom-made two-piece Prada ensemble. She accessorised with Harry Winston diamond earrings (what else?), Christian Louboutin heels and a simple bun.
Getty ImagesKerry channelled a 20s flapper vibe at the Jimmy Choo & Esquire London Collections party in London back in June 2013. Not only did she nail the chunky bob but donned a divine dual-colour white and burgundy Marc Jacobs number and Jimmy Choo nude heels.
Getty ImagesThe Django Unchained actress swapped couture for comfy in her off-duty ensemble of baggy jeans and open-toed two-inch espadrille wedges. Effortlessly gorgeous.
Getty ImagesKerry brought a big ray of sunshine to the CFDA Awards in 2013 with this canary yellow Jason Wu frock. With such a statement dress, Kerry sensibly kept her make-up and accessories minimal.
