Yahoo Lifestyle Kerry Washington Readies for Spring in Plunging Skirt Dress and Statement Belt at Michael Kors’s Fall 2025 NYFW Show
Kerry Washington was back in her front row seat at Michael Kors for the brand’s fall 2025 fashion show in New York on Tuesday. Washington wore a blue jersey dress with a lowcut V-neckline, crisscross in the back and a handkerchief skirt featuring an asymmetrical hem.
The look first walked in the brand’s spring 2025 show, where Washington also sat in the front row.

“I think people are in the mood for something that feels special, but that you can wear all the time,” Kors told WWD of that collection. It was inspired by stills from Netflix’s “Ripley,” 1990s photographs from Herb Ritts and snapshots of Mediterranean beaches.
Washington paired the dress with an oversize black leather belt, a styling trick that was popular in the aughts. She also carried a black leather clutch and wore pointed toe slingback sandals featuring an ankle strap. The actress wore her hair in brown and blond braids, wrapped into a top bun. In addition, she wore diamond earrings.
Washington has worked with stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn since 2023. The “Scandal” actor has been building a relationship with the brand, notably attending the Met Gala with the label in 2017 and 2023.
In January, the “Six Triple Eight” actress wore a wrinkled pink dress from Balenciaga. The look was a one shoulder gown with silk taffeta that swaddled around the body but there was a long train. Washington was also one of a group of women in opera gloves that night with a pair in black spandex. She’s also developed a relationship with that brand, attending its shows in Paris.
Other front-row attendees at Michael Kors’ fall 2025 show included Uma Thurman, Lea Michele, Rachel Brosnahan and Jane Krakowski amongst others. Kors had kicked off New York Fashion Week this season last week with a cocktail party at Bemelman’s Bar.
