Scandal star, Kerry Washington looked stunning on the 2016 Emmy Awards red carpet as she flaunted her baby bump in a custom black, Brandon Maxwell cut-out bustier gown with matching cape that wowed everyone. She complemented the simple yet spectacular dress with Fred Leighton jewellery, Gianvito Rossi shoes and gorgeous flowing curls.
Kerry Washington’s long-time stylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew previously told PEOPLE magazine: “[Kerry’s hair] has to be something very special. Because she’s pregnant, it’s gonna have to be [a style] that will blow everyone away.”
For the expectant mom, red carpet preparation was of utmost importance she told Extra: :
“When you’re a pregnant lady on the red carpet, you need to feel like a superhero”
The 39-year-old pregnant actress is a nominee this evening, but not for her work on Scandal. She is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie this year for her work in the HBO movie Confirmation!
Kerry is up against Fargo‘s Kirsten Dunst, American Crime‘s Felicity Huffman and Lili Taylor, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill‘s Audra McDonald, and The People v O.J. Simpson‘s Sarah Paulson.
Tonight’s red carpet appearance was a rare one for Kerry who has been staying healthy and preparing for her new arrival with husband Nnamdi Asomugha in private. Her last big red carpet appearance was at the 2016 Met Gala.
This is not the first time Kerry has wowed everyone with her maternity red carpet style. Who can forget the gorgeous pink and black ensemble she word to the 2014 SAG awards?
We wish her the best of luck with the rest of her pregnancy.
