Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in Scandal
No one does workwear quite like Olivia Pope. Power dressing is her thing with coats by the likes of MaxMara, Ferragamo and Burberry and a Prada bag always at the end of her leather glove. Kerry Washington said to WWD about the importance of her costumes: "From our very first phone call, we've been so on the same page and so passionate about this idea of reclaiming what power dressing looks like for a woman. We were taking it very seriously because we are passionate about fashion and passionate about storytelling, and passionate about how identity is expressed through clothing."
