Beauty Kerry Washington arrived at the Rome Photocall for Django Unchained in an eye catching printed dress from Peter Pilotto’s Spring 2013 collection:

She accented with a banged, straight, red highlighted hairstyle, and Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.

The wildcard dress was modeled on the runway with similar eye catching heels.

I love it! It’s definitely different, which is what’s so intriguing about it. Kerry can definitely skew safe–this look is young, adventurous, and fun!
What do you think?

though I think she looks beautiful. I like the dress except for the ruffle portion. i wish they would have added the print/color in another way. love hair make up and shos.

I’m on the fence, but I guess I have to give her points for trying something different and not looking like a clown in the process. In the meantime, patiently waiting for new episodes of SCANDAL.

Love love love the dress. Kerry rarely gets it wrong. She looks beautiful.

You called it Claire. It’s def different but really, Ms. Washington is working it! So beautiful. So original. Her styling was on point for such a busy dress.
January 4, 2013 10:06 am
cute and I love her hair! and I saw Django last night it was pretty good!
January 4, 2013 10:09 am
LOVE this! I would have preferred some snazzy sandals, but she still looks amazing
January 4, 2013 10:13 am
Kerry rarely disappoints me. I love her. I seen Django, good movie!
January 4, 2013 10:16 am
Work it Ms.Washington!!! I don’t think anyone else could pull this off!!! I love the simpleness of her makeup and the sleekness of her hair. Less definitely is more with this sort of dress.
January 4, 2013 10:20 am
I want to rip those ruffles off!
January 4, 2013 10:52 am
This dress is definitely a Hmmm… but Kerry looks beautiful as always from the neck up.
January 4, 2013 11:18 am
She is such a cutie…but something about the shoes that’s making her stance look a bit awkward, look straight on! Can’t wait until the new Scandal ep. comes on…
January 4, 2013 12:05 pm
I’m a Pilotto fan, so I dig the dress. There is just something off about it on Kerry. Maybe it’s the fit around the hip/legs + the shoes? Not sure… I would have liked it more if it was paired w/ the Kirkwood for Pilotto heels from the runway. Nonetheless, I <3 Kerry, and really enjoyed Django (and everything she does lol)
January 4, 2013 12:08 pm
No, Kerry, no…
January 4, 2013 12:55 pm
I love Kerry. She is gorgeous and a phenomenal actress, but this dress does nothing for her IMO. The fit around her upper body is off. I think her torso may be too short for the dress. The fit on the model is better.
January 4, 2013 1:14 pm
I want to hate it but something has me not quite pushing that “hmmmm” button yet. I cant put my finger on it and from the previous comments, yall cant either! LOL
January 4, 2013 2:11 pm
Kerry is gorgeous but I am not feeling this look. What’s up with the fringe? It looks like a bad wig.
January 4, 2013 2:11 pm
That look is awful, style, fit, patterns all an eye sore.
January 4, 2013 2:35 pm
I’m soo on the fence with this :/
January 4, 2013 3:04 pm
YES YES YES!
January 4, 2013 3:40 pm
I dont know how and I dont know why, but this works and I cant figure it out! lol
January 4, 2013 4:05 pm
Love the hair and makeup.. The dress however…. mmmmm not so much.
January 4, 2013 5:57 pm
One word, HIDEOUS!
January 4, 2013 6:02 pm
WTF? NO
January 4, 2013 6:49 pm
I applaud her for trying something different as Claire mentioned, but if you take a look at the rest of the collection I think an alternative dress would have been better, and still risque.
January 4, 2013 6:50 pm
I would of loved it if tried a more daring shoe, like the one on the model. And her hair alway, always bores me! That being said, I really like the dress. It’s unexpected and she wears it well.
January 4, 2013 9:21 pm
No bueno. Poorly constructed. Looks a Project Runway reject. Kerry should also get a new wig. Hair should move. Hers doesn’t. She’s too cute for that
January 4, 2013 9:25 pm
Kerry looks best with BANGS. Kudos for trying something different. I think she pulled it off. Fabulous look.
January 5, 2013 3:35 am
That face, lovely!! Dress, eh! Almost thought the second pic was halle berry for a sec when I scrolled down fast.
January 5, 2013 3:28 pm
I love Kerry and think she’s a very talented actress. However, get thee behind me dress! No, ma’am, not today.
January 5, 2013 3:57 pm
Kerry is gorge and I agree with most that her style is rarely off.
January 5, 2013 9:43 pm
The dress overpowers her frame at first glance…much nicer from the back, but I appreciate the fact that she is not too scared to take fashion chances!
January 6, 2013 4:53 pm
I love Kerry: she is gorgeous!!! Beautifully different I say! But I wish she would’ve went for a up do this time the dress commands attention and that hair is in the way.
January 6, 2013 6:03 pm
i love it! its offbeat in a way that stands out and has character
January 10, 2013 4:12 am
That woman is gorgeous but she needs to wear shorter dresses. She seems too petite for this. If it weren’t for the ruffles at hem of the skirt this would look amazing.
