Kerry Washington has been my celebrity girl crush
ever since I saw her in She Hate Me. She is smart, stylish and sexy. She always
owns her fashion sense, whether walking the red carpet or speaking out as an
activist or addressing the Democratic National Convention. Washington made history as the first Black woman
to play the lead in a prime time drama in more than 30 years.
If you are a true fashionista like me, I tune into
Scandal each week to not only find out
what top secret confidential situation
is to be handled, but also I live to see
what chic ensemble Olivia Pope HGIC (Head Gladiator in Chic) is wearing. And
I’m not alone, I cannot count how many
times someone tweets about who designed a
certain coat, jacket, sweater, bag, etc. and how can they get the look. There’s
even a website dedicated to Olivia Pope style.
Well, Gladiators, if you really want to dress like
Olivia Pope, then head on over to The Limited and snatch up a few pieces from
the new Scandal Collection, which debuts in stores and online today.
Washington
and Lyn Paolo, costume designer for the hit show, collaborated with The Limited
to create a 78 piece collection priced from $49 to $250, of stylish and sophisticated separates including
pants, pencil skirts, blouses, coats and jackets _there’s even Pope’s signature
cape.
'Women
often feel that they have to be either smart or beautiful, powerful or pretty,
either fashion forward or successful, and I think this clothing line says you
can be all of those things,” says Washington, who is not just the face behind
the collection. She’s one of the designers.
'With
these 78 pieces, you could come up with about 3,000 different looks because you
can interchange pieces with each other and stuff from your own closet,' said
Paolo. Based on Washington’s award winning character, the collection is
comprised of cool, neutral colors and feminine yet tailored separates.
My only con -where is the luv for Curvy Girl Gladiators?
Now,
I
hope there is an Olivia Pope doll in the works.
