Some days call for a great braid… or braids. Just ask Kerry Washington, whose latest look makes me want to whip up a pair of pigtails for the rest of the week.
For a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 13, the Scandal actor wore her hair in two waist-length braids by stylist Larri, pairing them with a bedazzled tweed Stella McCartney skirt suit and matching bag. Her hair was parted precisely in the center and slicked down close to her head on either side for a super sleek foundation, then gathered into two sections near her ears and braided into thick, full braids that ended right at the waistband of her skirt. Simple, timeless, and ideal for both everyday errands and chatting it up on ABC.
Glam-wise, Washington and makeup artist Fiona Stiles kept it just as classic with black liner and lashes, a pale pink lip, and and minimal, naked manicure, letting the braids be the centerpiece of her late-night look.
