Steal Her Chic: Kerry Washington Covers The Hollywood Reporter

There is a new queen werkin’ the cover of The Hollywood Reporter—a new primetime queen that is. Kerry Washington, known to us as the scandalous, President Fitz-loving Olivia Pope, graces the new cover of the Hollywood Reporter with other primetime actors as the queen of her coveted time slot. All decked out in this season’s black and white trend, Kerry shows off her lithe frame in a pair of edgy white tapered tuxedo pants and a dangerously sexy crop top.

The look, far away from the structured suits, and pastels of her famous Scandal character, is fresh, clean and accented by a pop of red on her lips. This black and white sport look is perfect for hard working and intense flirting alike. Here's how you can get the look:

Start with the tuxedo striped pants; Macy’s has some fabulous (5) Calvin Klein Straight Leg ones on sale! As for the crop top, though they decided to put Kerry in a lighter material, I thought it would be cooler to have a similar top in faux leather, (1) ASTR had the perfect one. Bring the look from magazine cover to life with a pop of color. Ditch the black pumps for this pair of orange (2) High Heeled Shoes with Ankle Strap from Zara. Why not let (4) L’Oreal’s Color Riche Le Gloss in Peach Fuzz help you match your pout with your pumps? Accent your outfit with a simple gold (3) Idiom bangle from Kate Spade and Ba Da BING: CHIC STOLEN!

Cover Girls: Kerry Washington for ARISE Magazine

I called it last year, guys. 2013 is the Year of Kerry. Kerry Washington is on a roll, gracing yet another magazine cover to kick off the new year. This time she talks exclusively with ARISE Magazine about her role in blockbuster Tarantino hit "Django Unchained", and her pride in being the only African-American female lead in a national TV role.

About the honor, she told ARISE "I felt proud of America. I felt proud of us as a society that we allowed the face of this show to be something that we don’t normally see in this role."

How can you NOT adore her?! I can't wait to see what else is in store for her thus year. I also can't wait for Scandal to return on this Thursday, January 10th. I've been on the edge of my seat since the last cliffhanger episode! (I'm addicted!)

Cover Girls: Kerry Washington for UPTOWN

3 snaps in a Z-formation for my girl Kerry Washington. I love this woman! Aside from my absolute obsession with "Scandal" (I start going through withdrawal on Thursday morning before new episodes premiere!), Kerry has been tearing it up on both the small and big screen. This month she covers my alma mater - UPTOWN Magazine - flaunting sultry and sass for days. 

2012 has definitely been Kerry's year. She's scored a leading role on an ABC series and this month she stars in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" with Jamie Foxx. 

She also happens to be one of my favorite red-carpet stunners. She never misses a beat with her fashion choices.
