Kerry Washington is all about lighting up the room. On Feb. 27, the producer stepped out for the SAG Awards wearing a bright yellow dress from Celia Kritharioti’s couture spring 2022 collection. The strapless gown featured a bustier top with a sweetheart neckline and ruching at the waist. All eyes were glued to the massive skirt as she graced the red carpet. Washington was styled by Law Roach, who paired the yellow gown with Messika earrings and rings, Stuart Weitzman heels, and a matching yellow Tyler Ellis clutch.

Just one night before, Washington attended the NAACP Image Awards wearing a pink Zuhair Murad gown, also styled by Roach. It’s clear she is embracing this season’s many color trends.
