Now that Scandal is done filming, the stars who have been maintaining their characters' respective #lewks are no longer beholden to the less-than-radical styles — which are honestly typical for D.C., so the show gets that right! 

Kerry Washington is taking this in full stride. While Olivia Pope may have sported many hairstyles over the course of seven seasons, she's never opted for the look Kerry wore last evening: a blunt, geometric bob.

Our girl Kerry put the bang in bangin' last night with a fresh chop and an equally dramatic Mugler dress — which is the very same brand that sent Tracee Ellis Ross down the runway in her modeling heyday!

Her glam skewed minimal with just a slightly berry-colored lip, which makes sense in light of the rest of the 'fit. Kerry's been about the bob in previous years and she's brought it back yet again. Makes sense. She looks great!

However, we still can't stop thinking about that gorgeous shoot she recently did with Allure, in which her hair was natural throughout the whole editorial.

Truly, we've never seen this woman look bad, last night included!
