  • Kerry Washington Hits Red Carpet Post-Baby at BET Awards

    Kerry Washington stepped out on the red carpet Sunday night for the BET Awards in Los Angeles.

    The event marked Washington’s first live television appearance since giving birth to daughter Isabelle Amarachi on April 21. The child is the first for both Washington and her husband, former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

    Observers said Washington looked “slim, fit, and healthy” in a brightly-colored floral strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress, white Jimmy Choo pumps, and the bare minimum of jewelry.

    Washington was nominated for a Best Actress award this year alongside Angela Bassett (Black Nativity, American Horror Story,) Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave,) Gabrielle Union (Being Mary Jane,) and Oprah Winfrey (The Butler.) Lupita Nyong’o won.

    Washington won the BET Best Actress award in 2013.

    Washington, 37, and Asomugha, 32, married in a small, private ceremony in Hailey, Idaho in June 2013. The notoriously private couple managed to keep the wedding secret for over a week.

    The couple kept their daughter’s birth from hitting the news for an impressive 11 days following her birth.

    Washington began acting in 1994 and landed small television and film roles for the next few years, including parts in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and The Last King of Scotland with James McAvoy and Forest Whitaker.

    In 2012 she gained notoriety for her performance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, and Christoph Waltz in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

    Also that year she landed the lead role in ABC’s hit series Scandal. Thanks to her role as Olivia Pope, Washington is now a household name. The term “gladiators” and the phrase “It’s handled” have become synonymous with the series and millions of viewers covet Olivia Pope’s wardrobe.

  • Nicole Kidman Does Revealing Photo Shoot For Jimmy Choo

    Nicole Kidman is appearing in some racy ads for Jimmy Choo this month, showing off her gams and toned stomach in the gorgeous photos.

    The stunning actress wowed her bosses with the shoot, which emphasized her ivory skin almost more than it did the shoes and bags.

    “I love Nicole Kidman’s openness to embracing a new character and each season she transforms into a new personality that embodies the spirit of the collection,” creative director Sandra Choi said in a statement. “Her poses are striking yet unexpected and her natural beauty is mesmerizing. She exudes feminine confidence and there’s a palpable sense of energy to the pictures.”

    Kidman says she enjoyed doing the shoot and loved the way the photos came out.

    “It was fun to shoot new and surprising perspectives, it felt a little bit daring dangerous, I loved the minimal styling and how the shoes and bags became like a sensual second skin to me,” Kidman said.

    The actress and her family paid a surprise visit to their homeland for the holidays, keeping the Australian press on their toes; the couple had daughters Sunday and Faith in tow and looked every inch as close as they’ve described themselves in the past.

    “We found each other in this huge world and we’re crazy about each other, she said. “And we now have this family that we’ve gotten to experience in our 40s. I’m so glad to have met my mate. The person that kind of protects me and loves me. He’s a good bloke,” Kidman said in a 2011 interview.
