Kerry Washington served sophisticated style as she visited “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in New York City yesterday. The actress spoke about how she got into directing and her new Hulu series “Reasonable Doubt” with Michael Ealy and Pauletta Washington.

The producer wore a lengthy sleek Balmain black blazer from the designer’s fall 2022 collection. The slight slit on her jacket was decorated with gold buttons on both sides which matched the black leather belt that accentuated her waist. She paired the top with leather-footed biker pants. The black fitted pants featured a quilted pattern, adding an edgy texture to her outfit.
