Kerry Washington showed off her chic side on the red carpet in Miami for season two of UnPrisoned.
The 47-year-old wore a sheer knit top, tucked into a beige ultra-mini skirt with a matching oversized blazer.
But it looked like she had a slight wardrobe malfunction as a white tag could be seen through the sheer top.
Kerry showed off her long, toned legs as she donned brown pointed-toe heels.
The Scandal star wore her short raven hair in a sleek bob with bangs that framed her face. She kept the jewelry to a minimum with a dainty bracelet.

“With the show we always try to tell the truth,” she explained to the audience.
“So if as an artist you always try to tell your truth and as a person of color, as a woman, as someone who has been marginalized, if you fight to tell the truth and center your truth, it will be a political act.
“So if you are drawn to stories about specific systems,” Kerry continued, “then go to those stories, but respect the pull of where your soul is taking you, because if you are in joy, if you are successful, if you in creativity you are in opposition to the systems that tell us we are not fully human.”
Kerry’s glamorous ensemble comes days after she attended the 2024 Tribeca Festival in New York City.
For the occasion, the Little Fires Everywhere actress wore a leather-lined, low-cut brown belted vest and matching flared leather pants.
Kerry opted for light-colored pumps and a brown clutch. She accessorized with a gold pendant necklace, bangles and rings.
And amid her fashionable outing, the Emmy winner spoke about her time on the hit ABC series Scandal, where she played DC fixer Olivia Pope from 2012 to 2018.

Kerry credited show creator Shonda Rhimes for her on-screen connection with co-star Tony Goldwyn who played President Fitzgerald Grant, joking, “Always happy to talk about Shonda!”
“I never did a chemistry class with Tony,” she admitted to the event’s host, Jane Rosenthal.
However, Tony is now campaigning to have his former leading lady appear on his current show, Law & Order.
“I’m all for it,” he said PEOPLE out of 10 of a potential cameo: “I got her talking about it a little bit.”
And Kerry wants to go to the Big Apple.
“I’ll go anywhere Tony tells me to go,” she told the outlet.

Since finishing the beloved drama, Kerry ventured into the world of writing, penning her memoir Thicker Than Water in 2023.
The Affirmation actress was candid about personal issues in the book and reflected on past struggles with an eating disorder.
‘I was in good control. I could party all night and drink and smoke and have sex and still show up and get good grades. I knew how to manage. I was functioning so well,” Kerry told Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts at the time. “And the food cost me. Like the body dysmorphia, the body hatred, it was out of my control and really led to me feeling like I needed help from someone and something bigger than me, or like I was in trouble because I don’t know how I have to live with this. ‘

She continued, “I felt like the abuse was a way to really hurt myself, like I didn’t want to be here. For example, it scared me that I didn’t want to be here because I was in so much pain.’
Kerry admitted that at one point she even considered suicide.
“Yes,” said the star. “The behavior was small, small attempts to destroy myself.”
However, this isn’t the first time Kerry has opened up about her struggles with food.
“I used food as a coping mechanism,” she said Essence in 2009. ‘It was my best friend.’
Kerry revealed that she had even found a way to mask her problems using academics.
“I would eat anything and everything, sometimes until I passed out,” she noted. “But because I had a perfectionism-driven personality, I told people I was in the library, but instead I went to the gym and worked out for hours and hours and hours. Keeping my behavior a secret was painful and isolating. There was a lot of guilt and a lot of shame.”
But these days, Kerry’s relationship with food has become much healthier.
“I mean, I wouldn’t say I would never do anything with food,” she explained to Robin Roberts during her GMA interview. ‘It’s just very different now. It’s not to the extreme. There is no suicidal ideation. That’s not where I am anymore.’
