It’s mesmerizing!
The accompanying editorial is really no different, but Kerry switches it up with different white and cream looks by Marni, Stella McCartney, and Loewe, to name a few.
Though we found her interview even more interesting! Just like Olivia, she leaves us with a lot to think about.
Read on for the HIGHlights:

On her social media presence:
“Oh yes, I have no social life on a Thursday! Every Thursday within three weeks of my [daughter Isabelle’s] due date, I loaded up pre-tweets based on the episodes and what I would want to say.”
On Tweeting during labor:
“I tweeted in the very early stages of my labor. I figured that if I went completely silent on social media, then people would know I was in the hospital!”
On Olivia Pope:
“I love her. To me she’s like family, and with family, it doesn’t matter if you like them or not, you love them no matter what. I don’t always agree with her choices, but I have a lot of compassion for them.”
On Scandal‘s style:
“The fashion on the show is almost another character ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ [costume designer] Lyn Paolo and I were on the same page about that from day one. When we sat down to discuss Olivia’s wardrobe, we had pulled all the same images off the internet and from magazines. I think because Lyn had worked on [political] shows like The West Wing before, she really understood the aesthetic of Washington, and I had already been working for the White House for two years when I started this job. We wanted to get out of the typical navy-blue, boxy, ├óΓé¼╦£woman in a man’s suit’ definition of power dressing.”
On getting into the ‘Olivia Pope’ mindset:
“The biggest thing for me are the shoes. I’ll wear Uggs around set, but I can’t rehearse a scene in them because I don’t feel like Olivia until I put the shoes on. Shoes define how you walk in the world and how you stand, like: what is your posture in life?”
On Kerry’s personal style:
“I’m a very moody dresser. For the red carpet, I am totally a stiletto girl. But in the rest of my life, I would say I’m 50/50. I love a good heel, but I also have a really great sneaker collection ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ that’s the Bronx girl in me.”
