Kerry Washington in Jason Wu at CFDA Awards

This is a gorgeous dress; perfectly suited to Miss Kerry.

‘Scandal’ star Kerry Washington attends 2013 CFDA Fashion Awards at Lincoln Center in New York City in a yellow duchess satin gown from the Jason Wu Resort 2014 collection accessorized with a Lanvin clutch and Monique Péan jewelry.

But we’re thinking yellow shouldn’t be on her list of approved colors. She’s actually reflecting the yellow of the garment in her face, although that could be a combo of shimmer and bronzer. Either way, she looks downright sallow. We don’t understand why she has such underplayed makeup for an event like the CFDAs and a dress like this one. It’s a shame, because that dress in a more Kerry-suitable color and with better makeup would be a head-turner for sure. Granted, it’s still a dramatic look and likely to have turned heads, but to our eyes, it all looks … off.
