Kerry Washington Shines in Sleek Pumps at Giorgio Armani’s ‘One Night Only’ Fashion Show

Kerry Washington brought a burst of sparkle to Italy for Giorgio Armani‘s “One Night Only” runway show.

On Saturday, Washington hit the red carpet in Venice for the internationally traveling fashion show — coincidentally held during the Venice Film Festival. For the occasion, the “Scandal” actress wore a set of slick black pumps — complete with closed counters and sharp pointed toes.

Washington’s classic shoes were finished with thin stiletto heels, bringing her a dynamic height boost for the fashionable event. The “Little Fires Everywhere” star’s shoes also served as a neutral base for her outfit, styled by Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi: a sequined blue and dark indigo minidress, trimmed with gleaming pink and silver crystals for added glamour.
