Best Dressed of the Week: Kerry Washington in J. Mendel

Zoe in Chanel, Ashanti in Kora Rae and more fly fall looks.

Kerry Washington in Scandal - While Halle Berry was the first Black woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress, Washington was the first in forty years to headline a network series. The actress, who became a Hollywood darling with roles in Ray and The Last King of Scotland, saw her star shoot up when she joined Shonda Rhimes' addictive drama about a political fixer having an illicit affair with the President. Hopefully next year she'll set a new milestone and become the first Black woman to win a Best Actress Emmy in her category. (Photo: Craig Barritt/Getty Images)
