Kerry Washington has made fashion history!
When the beloved actress stepped on the red carpet for the American Black Film Honors on Sunday night, she turned heads in her red number. Turns out, the dress is the same dress that the late musician, Whitney Houston, wore to the BET Walk of Fame awards gala in 1996. After the ceremony, the “Scandal” star also shared her excitement for rocking the dress with her social media followers .
Kerry Washington Stunned In The Dress Worn By The Late Whitney Houston In 1996
March 6, 2023, is not a day Washington will soon forget when she made a bold fashion statement in the Marc Bouwer-designed dress she wore to the American Black Film Honors. The figure-hugging dress featured ruched fabric and a halter neckline, which she teamed with matching red pumps.
For glam, the 46-year-old opted for bright blush, smokey eyes, soft pink lipstick and her dark hair styled in loose, voluminous curls. She kept her jewelry minimal, topped off with diamond studs and finger rings.
While she received compliments from her celebrity guests and friends, the Primetime Emmy Award nominee made sure she wowed in the dress with her online fans. Taking to Instagram, Washington posted a video, along with a caption that read:
“No lies. Whitney Houston’s real marcbouwer dress she wore in 1996 ?. So special. #ABFFAwards here I come! ❤️❤️❤️.”
In the clip, an automated voice is heard reading the overlay text, “What’s cooler than wearing a Whitney Houston outfit?” as the “Little Fires Everywhere” actress said, “Nothing! nothing!! Nothing!!!” — lyrics from Houston’s 1992 hit, “I Have Nothing.”
The footage quickly went viral, garnering over a million views and nearly 110k likes. The comments section was also included as one happily wrote, “This is the clash of worlds I never knew I needed. Like… you’re talking about 2 of my FAVS having a mash-up moment? It is THIS. ?❤️ (And you look GOOD!).”
A second viewer claimed, “I bet Whitney is as revered as an iconic queen as you are wearing it. Now two beautiful queens have worn it,” and a third joked, “Let me get it when you’re done, Kerry.”
The beautiful mood remained a few hours later when Washington shared another post featuring two new photos. While the first image is a close-up of her glamorous face, the second is a full view of the actress posing in front of a door.
The four-time Screen Actors Guild Award nominee previously warmed the hearts of many when she was honored at last year’s TIME Woman of the Year gala. The Blast reported at the time that the New York native shared her joy at being in the same category as the women she sees as heroes for their charity work.

“There’s a lot of work to be done to make this world a better place, so it’s really exciting to be able to celebrate some of the women who are working towards that,” Washington said. She added that being “a girl’s mother” gave her a different world view of the works of famous women and inspired her to try harder for her children.
Washington is a proud mother of two children, a daughter Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha and a son Caleb Kelechi Asomugha, whom she shares with her husband, Nnamdi Asomugha.
NAACP Image Award Winner Set To Release Memoir Later This Year
Shortly after he informed fans of his upcoming memoir, “Thicker Than Water,” the Black Reel Award winner spilled some extra tea in a press release. As reported by The Blast, the publisher stated:
“Writing a memoir is, by far, the most deeply personal project I’ve ever undertaken. I hope readers will receive it with open hearts and I pray that it will offer new insights and perspectives, and invite people into deeper compassion — for themselves and others.”
The “Confirmation” star further detailed in the release that the memoir will focus on her life as she shares how she dealt with challenges, trauma and setbacks in building her career.
“Thicker Than Water” will also explore how Washington “crossed the threshold of notoriety and political advocacy, finally finding his true self and, with it, a deeper sense of belonging.”
The memoir, scheduled for a September 2023 release, will be released in hardcover by Little, Brown Spark – a division of Little, Brown and Company.
