9 Times Kerry Washington Looked Scandalously Good On Her First Post-Pregnancy Red Carpet

by Shaunna Murphy 06/12/14

Sorry, everyone else on the red carpet — you can go home now.

Two months after giving birth to her daughter Isabelle Amarachi in April, Kerry Washington made her post-baby red carpet debut on June 11 at the Women in Film’s Crystal + Lucy Awards in Los Angeles. She donned a plunging Mara Mara cocktail dress with bright orange pumps to prepare for “Scandal” boss lady Shonda Rimes presenting her with the Lucy Award for Excellence in Television.

The award was (obviously) well deserved, but we can’t stop focusing on the nine times she looked like a total BAMF at the party:
