Kerry Washington is a damsel in denim as she attends SAG-AFTRA event in LA in support of new Hulu comedy Unprisoned
Kerry Washington was a vision of beauty as she appeared at an Q&A event at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Screening Room in Los Angeles in support of her new series Unprisoned.
The 46-year-old star, who appeared alongside her costar Delroy Lindo, 70, was in style as she donned a dark denim blue zip front dress over a sheer black top with pointy black heels.
The Emmy-winning actress had her locks neatly pulled back into a ponytail as she accessorized with gold earrings and necklaces at the industry event.
The two-hour event included a screening of the show’s first two episodes in addition to a discussion with Washington and Lindo.
Washington, who is mother to two children with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, 41 – daughter Isabelle, eight, and son Caleb, six – plays the role of Paige Alexander on the streaming series, while Lindo plays the role of her father, Edwin Alexander.

According to a storyline synopsis, the show tells the story of a therapist and single mom whose life is turned right-side-up when her dad gets out of prison and moves to her house to live with her and her teenage son.
The series is inspired by the life of the show’s creator, Mad Men writer Tracy McMillan.
The show also stars Marque Richardson, Faly Rakotohavana, Jordyn McIntosh, Brenda Strong, Jee Young Han and Edwin Lee Gibson.
The show is the first scripted comedy from the Disney subsidiary Onyx Collective, which showcases ‘a series of projects from Black artists and artists of color,’ The Daily Beast reported last month.
The brand has also released high-profile projects such as Summer of Soul and 1619 Project.
Washington said that the organization’s diversity helps keep things moving in everyone being on the same page about ‘specific, intracommunal ideas’ in relation to the material.
‘If there’s a story about a Black character, a lot of that time gets spent explaining Blackness, defining Blackness, interpreting Blackness for your co-collaborators,’ Washington told the outlet.
She continued: ‘When you have more than one Black voice at the table, you get to sort of acknowledge the Blackness, celebrate the Blackness, and also go deeper into the human-ness.’
