*Kerry Washington, whose “Scandal” character Olivia Pope consistently slays with her wardrobe, will be recognized for her influence in costume design at the 20th Costume Designers Guild Awards on Feb. 20 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The actress will receive the Guild’s spotlight award, which “honors an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of Costume Design,” the guild said.
Washington’s costume designer on “Scandal,” Lyn Elizabeth Paolo, said, “Kerry embodies style and elegance, and is a true fashionista. Her appreciation for design, as well as her creative spirit, have made working with her over these seven seasons an absolute joy. She has been an integral partner in evolving her character through the art of costume, and her love of costume as a storytelling device is more than evident in her body of work.”
Previously announced honorees include Joanna Johnston for the career achievement award, Guillermo del Toro for the distinguished collaborator award, and jeweler and metalworker Maggie Schpak for the distinguished service award.
