Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution of Kerry Washington

Lately, Kerry Washington’s eclectic, sizzling and vivacious style have captured so many Bombers and Bombshells on the site, it felt absolutely necessary to take a trip down the yellow brick road and show her true style evolution over the years.67th+Annual+Primetime+Emmy+Awards+Arrivals-kerry-washington-marc-jacobskerry-washington-at-good-morning-america-in-new-york-tanya-taylor-top-skirt-christian-louboutin-sandals-1When Kerry first stepped on the scene, she was still wearing form-hugging silhouettes and color-coordinated frocks, but master tailoring, cut, form and fit left a little to be desired on the beauty.

Although many don’t fully remember Kerry Washington’s original days of ‘Save The Last Dance’ and ‘I Think I Love My Wife’, she has blossomed into a full-out Powerhouse and Businesswoman, garnering media attention for her movie promotions, nail line with OPI, becoming a brand ambassador for Neutrogena, or even keeping all eyes glued to her (and her wardrobe) as the daringly refined, designer-sporting worst nightmare to any politician in DC, Olivia Pope.
