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.

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.
