Kerry Washington stepped out for an ongoing press tour for her Hulu show “UnPrisoned” yesterday in New York.

The “Scandal” star took the Big Apple by storm in a pair of classic neutral pumps. The closet staple featured matt tan leather uppers that transitioned into sharp triangular toes. 2 to 3-inch stilettos rounded out the set, offering the thespian a few extra inches. Washington’s footwear pick offered a neutral base, placing the focus on her vibrant ensemble instead of her shoes.

Kerry Washington, "UnPrisoned," Oscar de la Renta, neutral pumps, leather, tweed, wool, New York — Kerry Washington was seen in Manhattan on Aug. 23, 2024, in New York.

The neutral shoe is a dime a dozen. Similar silhouettes to the actress’ own can be purchased from high-end and affordable brands like Aldo, Nine West, Sam Edelman, Gianvito Rossi, Aquazzura and Coach, just to name a few. Neutral pumps are a must-have for stylish celebs. Endlessly versatile, the style boasts longevity, standing the test of time among much more vibrant shoes because of the aforementioned notion.

Evoking spring vibes, the “Django Unchained” star was styled in a forest green wool blend tweed dress from Oscar de la Renta. The short-sleeved garment was belted and paired with a matching green leather shoulder bag with a floral applique, also from Oscar de la Renta.

Washington’s style versatility has led to several memorable looks through the years since she took over Hollywood. While on the same press junket for “UnPrisoned” in New York only a few days ago, Washington kept her fashion game strong in a pair of glossy blush pink pumps. The sharp style was paired with a floral set in similar blush tones.

“UnPrisoned” is a Hulu drama that centers around Paige Alexander, a messy but perfectionist relationship therapist and single mom, after her dad gets out of prison and moves in with her and her teenage son. The show enlists the help of some major talents including Delroy Lindo, Brenda Strong and Faly Rakotohavana, among others.
