Kerry Washington’s Bob Is Straight as a Razor and Sharper Than One, Too — See the Photos

Kerry Washington is in her bob era.

The actor debuted a razor-sharp, chin-length bob at the Elle Women in Hollywood event in Los Angeles on December 5. The actor’s hair was parted in the center and styled straight, hitting right between her chin and collarbone and framing her face perfectly. The ends of the cut were a true masterpiece, with a mathematical precision that could cut you if you’re not careful! It’s the definition of a classic, chic bob, impactful in its very simplicity, and it’s total perfection on Washington. But then again, she looks great in pretty much every single hairstyle she tries, and this straight and sharp bob is yet another winning addition to the Kerry Washington Hall of Fame.

Washington paired her bob with smoldering smoky eyes accented with a deep plum shadow and lots of black liner in her waterlines, as well as under her lashline. Rosy blush and a matching lip provided the perfect finishing touch and mimicked the warm pinky-plum tone on her lids to create a monochromatic effect. The bob also provided the perfect canvas for Washington’s red carpet outfit, a black spaghetti strap jumpsuit worn with a crocheted capelet.
