Kerry Washington was spotted making her way to the NBC studios on Tuesday morning, where she was promoting Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery on The Today Show. And in classic Kerry fashion, she delivered a look that instantly lifted the energy of a grey New York morning.
The actress wore one of her most dependable labels for daytime TV: Erdem. At first glance, the textured satin twill might look like a case of travel creasing, but if you know much about Erdem, you will know that this is deliberate — a sculpted, crumpled effect the house has used to give its dresses a lived-in romantic edge, which Gugu Mbatha-Raw will confirm. The oversized etched tulip blooming across the skirt is another signature, anchoring the piece firmly within the designer’s world.
Now let’s get to the styling. The burgundy velvet pumps and matching Erdem Bloom bag bring a lush, wintry mood that stops the dress from feeling too spring-forward. And then there are the teal leather opera gloves — the detail that had everyone will ask. Did she actually wear them for the interview?
She did not. The gloves were purely for her pap walk and to add a bit of drama to the dash from car to studio — along with a hint of warmth, given the early call time.
