5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Kerry Washington

25 Jan 5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Kerry Washington

Here on The City, we are all about cultivating personal style, luckily, we can look to some of our favorite celebrities for a few style lessons.

I must admit, my first time seeing Kerry Washington on the big screen, I was not so taken with her. The movie was Save The Last Dance–my favorite movie in 7th and 8th grade–and Kerry played Chenille. My next time seeing her on the big screen was in Ray and I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t remember her being that pretty. By the time Mr. & Mrs. Smith followed by the Fantastic Fourcame out, Kerry was a certified star on the red carpet.

Embrace What Sets You Apart

I imagine that trying to find work in Hollywood where there is a certain standard of beauty, could be a trying thing if you aren’t secure with yourself. While some might find Kerry’s lips to be too big or ‘ethnic,’ I think they’re beautiful. And Kerry plays them up as one of best features. Coincidently, women pay to have her lips and don’t always achieve that. But I won’t be mean. I’m looking at you Taylor and Big Ang.

Figure Out How To Pose In Pictures

Now this sounds silly, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Posture is a big part of how you look. Learning how to adjust your posture accordingly when you see those flashing lights can be the different between stunning and frumpy, wouldn’t you say? No wonder Kerry is always posing the same way.

Who else is loving them some Kerry? By now it is quite obvious that she is on my list of girls I have a crush on. It isn’t just her style, it’s the aura that I imagine she gives off. Does that sound crazy?
