Florals? For spring? Kerry Washington is proposing an entire landscape painting instead. Over the weekend, Washington turned the classic skirt suit into something that belongs in the Louvre. Or, based on the origin of the designer behind her outfit, more like New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Washington sported a three-piece suit from Thom Browne’s Resort 2023 collection. Per usual, the outfit went all in on Browne’s signature tailoring with a high-waisted maxi skirt, a men’s suit jacket, and an overcoat that Washington wore atop her shoulders. But what turned this moment from regular fashion into capital-Fwas the surreal print that lined Washington’s outfit. Browne upped the ante of these matching pieces with multi-color embroidery that was inspired by children’s storybook scenes.
As it happens, Washington has been on something of an all-white dressing streak of late. Just last week, the actress attended an event in Los Angeles in athat turned a frilly wedding dress into something fit for a night out. Her Christopher John Rogers number featured a plunging front and a corseted bodice before finishing off in a tiered maxi skirt that exploded with peplum ruffles.
