Kerry Washington dressed up in an Oscar de la Renta dress and minimalist black heels to attend the 2025 BET Awards in Los Angeles on Monday night.
A closer look at Kerry Washington‘s shoes.
Opting for a simplistic shoe to ground her vibrant dress, Washington wore a black heel with an hourglass-shaped strap across the toe, leaving the foot otherwise exposed. The shoes exuded a soft glamour with a subtle satiny luster. This choice follows her wearing black platform sandals and a Japanese-inspired Dior look at the Peabody Awards on June 1 and ivory platform pumps and a Simkhai look at the Met Gala in May.

“The Six Triple Eight” star donned the versatile black heels to go with an Oscar de la Renta dress, specifically the label’s Abstract Butterfly Faille Dress, which retails for $4,290. The look features a spaghetti-strap cocktail dress with an abstract butterfly design that imitates the unfolding of wings. The silhouette features a structured bustier-style bodice and a full skirt. Washington accessorized her ensemble with a statement necklace showcasing a string of large sparkling jewels.
The actress and producer often works with stylist duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn.
