The Primetime Emmy Award-winning artist’s gorgeous brunette hair fell to her shoulders and matched the lighter shade of her clothing.

Perry, 54, opted for a white shirt worn under an olive green button-up shirt as he spent time with the actress.
The producer, who moderated Washington’s promotional appearance, completed his look with figure-hugging pants and tan shoes.
Thicker Than Water was released to the public earlier this week, and the actress enthusiastically promoted her book on Instagram ahead of its release.
The performer’s memoir covers numerous topics, including her coping with the discovery that her father, Earl Washington, was not her biological parent.
The Django Unchained actress also talked about having an abortion in her early 20s, her history with activism and her treatment for a past eating disorder, among other things.
Washington spoke about working on her memoir in an interview with Vanity fairin which she remembered that while writing her book, she had to allow herself to reveal the deeper parts of her personality to the public.
‘If people don’t like the movie, I think, “Oh, yeah, talk to the director.” It is far more fragile than any other creative endeavor I have ever undertaken,” she said.
The Scandal star then stated that she was extremely grateful for her parents’ support in writing her memoir.
