Kerry Washington attended a special lunch held to celebrate her new film “The Six Triple Eight” at L’Escargot yesterday in London. The film’s producer Tyler Perry was also in attendance.
Turning heads, the thespian opted for a high-impact pair of Burberry Slinky Legging boots. Retailing for $995 via Farfetch, the star’s footwear pick included glossy black leather uppers accompanied by coordinating black faux-fur trim and detachable gold chain accents that were fastened around the ankles. Unique square toes gave way to zip-up closures and lofty 4.1-inch stiletto heels.
The designer knee-high style is ultra-campy and sleek, thanks to the gilded touches, square toes and faux-fur trim. Each addition updates the otherwise simplistic but beloved black bootie, easily elevating the silhouette for a new market of shoe lovers. The boot is a perfect choice, given it lends itself well to Washington’s personal style and Burberry’s brand identity. If knee-high styles aren’t your thing, Burberry’s Slinky Legging boots also come in a shorter ankle-length silhouette.

In Burberry from head to toe, the “Scandal” star sported a vintage checkerboard-printed shirt dress in shades of blue, gray and white. The slouchy garment included billowing sleeves and a high neckline.
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 Six Triple Eight” is an upcoming film produced by Tyler Perry. The project 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.
