Kerry Washington rang in another year in the most stylish look.

The actress celebrated her 45th birthday on Monday and posted a series of photos from the festivities to her Instagram. She included a heartfelt caption thanking everyone for the birthday wishes; she added the organizations she’s passionate about. In her photos, Washington wore a stunning midi dress from Elie Saab with a plunging neckline. The dress was covered in floral appliqué in shades of green and blue over the white tulle material. It featured puffy sleeves and a black belt cinching at the waistline. Washington also added thick gold hoops to her outfit but otherwise kept her accessories minimal.

The “Scandal” star added a pair of strappy heels to her birthday look. Her shiny shoes featured an ankle strap as well as a toe strap. Her towering leather heels, courtesy of Casadei, featured a thin stiletto heel reaching 4.5 inches in height. The shoes added a bit of interest with the metallic color, but didn’t overpower the busy dress.
