Kerry Washington attended the Paley Honors Fall Gala honoring filmmaker Tyler Perry held yesterday in Beverly Hills. Washington is currently in a new Tyler Perry title called “The Six Triple Eight.“
The “Scandal” star went the classic route, donning a pair of black pumps. The versatile pick included glossy black satin uppers, accompanied by sharp knife-like pointed toes. Although they weren’t visible beneath the hem of her dress, it’s likely the shoes also featured thin 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels. While the shoe’s construction was simple in nature, the choice made for a powerful supporting character to the entirety of the ensemble.
For those looking to channel their inner Washington, brands like Valentino, Aquazzura, Ginavito Rossi, Jimmy Choo, The Row, Saint Laurent and Sarah Flint all feature comparable styles to the thespian’s own for a range of prices and sizes.

In a vibrant twist, the “Little Man” actress wore a maxi-length gown hailing from the colorful world of Christopher John Rogers. The Wiggle Dot Tulip dress is constructed of a mix of silk, polyester and metallic fibers and comes in a “Nepeta” colorway. The garment comes in a tulip silhouette and includes a scoop neck, zipper closures and a vent up the back for ease of movement.
Washington’s style versatility has led to several memorable looks through the years since she took over Hollywood. Recently, the star has been sporting major footwear moments throughout her press tour for “The Six Triple Eight.” The star has been pulling from top shoe designers like Jimmy Choo and Andrea Wazen.
The film, produced by Tyler Perry, follows the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, World War 2’s only Women’s Army Corps unit of color, as they address a backlog in mail while facing discrimination and a war-torn environment. It is set to be released in select theaters before hitting Netflix on Dec. 20.
