Kerry Washington somehow managed to strike the perfect balance between retro and modern as she strutted the blue carpet of the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica.

The 40-year-old “Scandal” actress donned a textured midi dress from Prada. This fun twist on a classic little black dress highlighted a detailed bodice embellished with crystals and palettes. The sleeveless dress also featured a bateau neckline and a low back.

Kerry styled her hair in a ponytail with bangs, which added a retro vibe to her look. She finished it off with minimal makeup, jewels from Susan Foster and heels from Christian Louboutin.
