Kerry Washington has been traveling around the country to promote her memoir, Thicker Than Water, since September. For an appearance on The View, the Scandal actor stepped out wearing the cutest headband with gilded and pearlescent embellishments, the cost of which I'd prefer not to know, thank you very much.
Washington was spotted in the streets of New York City wearing a Giambattista Valli tweed mini dress with a matching tweed purse and black knee-high boots. Her hair was lightly curled, parted down the middle, and left cascading in loose waves towards her chest. The ornamented black headband was placed a few inches behind her hairline. Metal Chipper
Washington's look is a perfect example of how a headband can elevate a look without requiring any hairstyling expertise. It's hard to make out the details of each embellishment on the black velvet band. A few circular pearlescent pieces jutted out from the black base, and you can catch a glimpse at all the gilded accents surrounding them.
She paired her loose waves and embellished headband with a simple cat eye and pink lips. You can barely see the winged tip at her outer corner. A rose gold shimmer gleamed from her lids. The bright matte pink hue on her lips matched her flushed cheeks.
We also couldn't help but notice her dark almond-shaped manicure. From some angles, her nails appeared to be a deep brown hue, but from others, it looked more like a blood-red shade.
There are still a few dates left on Washington's book tour, so soon enough she'll be blessing us with a new hairstyle. Some of the styles she's had thus far have included her curls out, a curled updo with face-framing pieces, a super long high ponytail, and now these waves and headband. So, what style do you think she has prepared for us next?
