The difference between Kerry Washington and Olivia Pope? Kerry takes fashion risks. “I take more risks because I don’t work in the business space,” Kerry told The Edit for her cover feature, naming modern designers like Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, and Stella McCartney as some of her favorites.
But just because Kerry can work a stripped down, natural look for the camera, while Olivia comes off as a bit more conservative, doesn’t mean they can’t both be your style icons. In fact, Kerry admits she’d like to pluck a few of Olivia’s dreamy, oversize satchels from the Scandal set and make them her own.
Whether she’s acting out her role in chic coats or striking an effortless pose for a shoot, we love seeing Kerry in such effortless, neutral pieces that let her shine. But she’s not the only one we’re excited to see more of. Read on to see Olivia Palermo dressed in Dolce & Gabbana for Elle Vietnam, Kate Upton on The Edit, Chiara Ferragni‘s Vogue Spain debut, and more of our favorite stars who front April’s best covers.
