Earlier this week, Washington wore another timeless look to “The View” during the press tour for her latest memoir, “Thicker Than Water.” For the morning show appearance, she slipped into another pair of black knee-high boots. 

The actress is often dressed by styling duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, who also works with Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez and Hailee Steinfeld. Throughout the years, Washington has established herself as a versatile fashion reference. She is a familiar face in the industry sitting front row at fashion shows for brands like Fendi and Michael Kors. Her shoe closet is filled with strappy sandals and platform pumps from top labels like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Guiseppe Zanotti.
