Kerry Washington wows in sleek Brandon Maxwell dress hanging on by just 2 strings
Take a look at Kerry Washington in a stunning Brandon Maxwell dress:
Washington wore the Brandon Maxwell Bridges maxi dress, Look 3 from the label’s Resort 2026 collection. The blush pink, floor-length dress featured ultra-thin spaghetti straps and a soft V-neckline, creating a streamlined, liquid-like silhouette. Its feminine texture contrasted with the black leather jacket draped off her shoulders.
The leather’s heavy texture provided a perfect visual weight to balance the dress’ light silk. The Golden Globe nominee finished off her look with pointed-toe pumps. She wore her hair in a stylish updo, with loose strands framing her face beautifully.
