With her ABC political drama Scandal in its third and most successful season, Kerry Washington seems to be covering practically every magazine these days. The 36-year-old appeared on Ebony‘s March 2013 cover, Elle Magazine‘s June 2013 cover, Vanity Fair‘s August 2013 cover, Glamour Magazine‘s October 2013 cover, Essence‘s November 2013 cover, and now Lucky‘s December 2013/January 2014 cover.
But this most recent image makes Washington’s face practically unrecognizable. The Django Unchained star’s eyes seem to be narrower and the lighting on her face appears to have distorted her features.
Washington’s hair was cut in an edgy, shoulder-length style with bangs, and she wore a white and purple two-piece ensemble covered with a sheer, patterned dress.
But if Washington is concerned by her cover look, she’s not saying so publicly. Less than an hour after the cover was unveiled, she tweeted the image with the caption, “WOOO HOOO!” and even made the cover her Twitter avatar.
The recent Saturday Night Live host has plenty to celebrate these days. Us Weekly broke the news in late October that Washington was pregnant with her first child after secretly marrying NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha in June 2013.
