The actress sported a Thom Browne ensemble consisting of a gray single-breasted tweed blazer and a matching minidress with bold shoulders. Her long-sleeve frock featured the American designer’s signature three-stripe ribbon around the cuffs.

Washington accessorized with a black top handle purse — also by Browne — as well as a pair of black tights. She completed her look with gold hoops and mary jane pumps.

Styling duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who are also known for dressing stars like Jennifer Lopez, Suki Waterhouse and Lindsay Lohan, have worked with Washington since 2023.

This year’s History Talks event included A-list speakers such as Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Kevin Costner, Kate Winslet and John Legend were also in attendance.

History Talks is an event series hosted by History Channel that is spearheaded by A+E Networks president and chairman Paul Buccieri. Saturday’s event spotlighted Los Angeles’ Roybal Film and Television magnet program, which prepares high schoolers for careers in entertainment.

During New York Fashion Week earlier this month, Thom Browne hosted an intimate dinner with celebrity guests including Martha Stewart, Patti LuPone, King Princess, influencer Addison Rae and Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff.

“Because I did my show during couture, as the chairman [of the CFDA] I thought it was important for me to do something this week — because I think it’s important that we all engage with New York Fashion Week and make sure that we all do something that’s happening around the town,” Browne told WWD’s Kristen Tauer.
