The good news: Kerry Washington wore three dresses in one day. The better news: We have all the details on those dresses. The best news: Season 3 of Scandal starts tonight!
Our Best Dressed Star of the year put on a marathon parade of fashion Wednesday to promote her hit ABC show at three separate events.

First up, the actress selected a feminine floral Prabal Gurung design featuring billowy sleeves, cutouts at the neckline and a flattering black waistband that nipped her waist in all the right spots. To let the print shine, she kept her accessories, including a Freedom of Animals clutch, solid for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Next, Washington hopped on the off-the-shoulder dress bandwagon, selecting an ivory J. Mendel dress with sheer stripes (to which she added a lizard Hunting Season clutch and her signature white pumps) at the She’s Making Media event in N.Y.C.
And for her last stop, she made a major statement in a checked taffeta Prada gown (which looks like it’s from the costume archive of Little House on the Prairie), teamed with a white Stella McCartney belt and half-pinned faux bob (anyone else curious about trying this style?) at Saks Fifth Avenue’s Scandal event.
And while her dresses kept changing, one thing stayed exactly the same: Washington’s signature left-hand-on-the-hip pose and that sexy gaze. If she’s looking for some extra work, she could definitely teach a course on red carpet posture. Let us know which is your favorite — and on a scale from 1 to 10, how excited you are about the show coming back tonight!
