Kerry Washington formally announced her pregnancy in May, and now, we’ve finally caught a very good view of her bump at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards.

The actress, preparing to welcome her second child, did not attempt to hide her bump in one of the best red carpet maternity looks we’ve seen — and it turns out that there’s a reason for it.

Kerry wore a custom cutout dress by Brandon Maxwell, the perfect combination of sexy and classy maternity red carpet wear. (Yeah, we’re looking at you, Kim Kardashian.)

The actress styled her look with jewelry from Leighton Jewels and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch. Kerry also wore a pair of Gianvito Rossi x Brandon Maxwell heels, part of the Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

As it turned out, Kerry’s baby bump was part of a skit with “Scandal” co-star Tony Goldwyn. No wonder she dared to bare it this time.

Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel uploaded a photo of himself posing with Kerry’s place card, captioned, “Sometimes it feels like @KerryWashington is watching me. #Emmys rehearsal…”

Kerry’s shoes were custom-made for the Brandon Maxwell S/S show, so we highly doubt they will hit stores. The good news is that these shoes are a slightly modified version of the Gianvito Rossi “Portofino” sandals.

You can shop the “Portofino” sandals in two and three-toned versions at Mytheresa and Farfetch.
