Kerry Washington

Accepting the Spotlight Award for her turn as the super chic fixer Olivia Pope in Scandal, Washington, who stunned in an embellished Dolce&Gabbana gown, poignantly explained the power of costuming. She shared that when she found out she was pregnant with her daughter but her on-screen character would not be, she feared how costume designer Lyn Paolo would make Pope’s fierce fashion maternity-friendly. “I panicked … How in the world am I going to maintain that Olivia Pope walk while I’m waddling down a hallway? I could do it because of Lyn,” she said. “There were no maternity clothes out there, but she took those beautiful couture Armani pants, cut out the front and replaced it with a panel of growing materials that held my daughter … I still waddled, but I waddled well dressed.”
