Washington donned a bold red lip, and rosy cheeks with her slicked back. Her accessories included classic diamond earrings and simple diamond rings.

As for footwear, the actress took her look to new heights in a pair of black strappy sandals. Often defined by long straps that wrap around the ankle and up the leg for security, strappy sandals are a popular choice with shorter dresses and other silhouettes that showcase legs. A staple shoe of the warmer months, strappy sandals can be any heel height for versatile wear.
