The Red Carpet Glows with Kerry Washington’s Chic Chanel
Fashion aficionados and Hollywood elite converged in New York City on Wednesday evening to celebrate the grand opening of Chanel’s newest flagship boutique on 5th Avenue. As fashionistas sipped champagne and mingled among the lavish displays of haute couture watches and fine jewelry, all eyes were on Kerry Washington as she graced the red carpet in a stunning all-white ensemble.
The 47-year-old actress proved yet again why she is a bonafide style icon, arriving at the event in a bandeau midi dress from Chanel’s latest collection. The impeccably tailored tweed frock featured a checkerboard textured pattern and a slit in the back that effortlessly showed off her toned calves with every step. Kerry accessorized the look with white peep-toe strappy pumps for an extra touch of elegance.
When it came to her beauty look, the Little Fires Everywhere star opted for a fresh-faced glow with a nude lip, while her hair was pulled back into a sleek, sophisticated style. As for jewelry, Kerry honored the host of the evening by carrying a white Chanel clutch purse. She kept things minimal with the exception of an elaborate rose gold necklace that perfectly framed the deep neckline of her dress.
This latest red carpet appearance is just one in a long lineup of fashion triumphs for Kerry Washington. Just last December at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala, she turned heads in a Prada lilac dress that revealed a simple silver heel. The tea-length gown featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and a lavender floral pattern, which Kerry expertly complemented with a chic blunt bob cut.
The fashionista is no stranger to Italy’s fashion scene either. During a whirlwind 24-hour trip to Venice for the 80th International Film Festival, Kerry debuted three breathtaking looks. The first, an all-white two-piece from Giorgio Armani, was the perfect choice for a day spent boating through the picturesque canals. Later that evening, she slipped into a sparkling midnight blue minidress as she attended the star-studded “One Night Only” event, posing for photos alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Chastain, and Ava DuVernay. Ending the night in Burano just north of Venice, Kerry was spotted in a vibrant strapless sundress, soaking in the beauty of the town with the heartfelt caption “Ti amo Venezia” on her Instagram.
So it’s no surprise that Kerry Washington was the talk of Chanel’s exclusive grand opening celebration. With impeccable style and an innate ability to command attention on any red carpet, the actress continues to captivate audiences with her showstopping fashion choices. It’s safe to say this week’s event was no exception as Chanel opened the doors to its first U.S. flagship dedicated solely to watches and fine jewelry right here in Manhattan’s iconic Crown Building. With guests like Kerry Washington, Sadie Sink, Carey Mulligan, America Ferrera, and Elizabeth Olsen in attendance, the brand’s newest luxe boutique is already the talk of New York City’s fashion elite.
