Kerry Washington Shines in Jenny Packham Sequined Mini Dress

At the recent ESPY Awards in LA, Kerry Washington worked the red carpet in a stunning Jenny Packham dolman sleeved mini dress. The short length of her frock balanced out the long sleeves and the seriousness of material. She further enhanced it with an even more bejeweled belt giving emphasis to her waist.

She carried a silver hard case clutch and completed her red carpet trip with some silver pumps. It would have been nice to see something unexpected other than silver accessories paired with a silver dress. She nailed the look, nonetheless.

For a fun, unconventional take on Kerry’s look, try this concoction.

Parker All Over Sequin Dress, $207 from $297

Sam Edelman Lorissa Pumps, $199.95

Kate Spade New York Recital Farrah Clutch, $375

If you’re wearing something sequin-adorned, don’t be afraid to mix it up a little.  Some studs and a patterned clutch add an element of surprise to your outfit while giving sequins a break from the usual red carpet grind.
