And the winner is . . .

Kerry Washington kept it short and sassy at the 2nd Annual Essence “Black Women in Hollywood” awards luncheon in Los Angeles.

Posing for the cameras in a re-styled version of this Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 frock, she looks super chic. And the leopard print pumps definitely kick up the style factor.

Kerry has been stylin’ on em at a slew of recent events. And for fashionistas sharing the red carpet with her, consider this a warning. When it comes to the fashion game, you better bring it!
