Kerry Washington brought out her chic side on the red carpet in Miami for season two of UnPrisoned.
The 47-year-old wore a see-through knit top tucked into a beige ultra-mini skirt with a matching oversized blazer.
But she appeared to have a slight wardrobe malfunction as a white tag could be seen through the see-through top.
Kerry showed off her long, toned legs while donning brown pointed-toe heels.
The Scandal star wore her short raven hair in a sleek bob with bangs framing her face. She kept the jewelry to a minimum with a dainty bracelet.
In a clip posted to Instagram, Kerry was seen on-stage talking about the comedy series.

‘With the show, we’re just always trying to tell the truth,’ she explained to the audience.
‘So, if you’re always trying to tell your truth as an artist and being a person of color, being a woman, being anybody who’s marginalized, if you’re fighting to tell the truth and center your truth it’s going to be a political act.
‘So, if you’re drawn towards stories about specific systems,’ Kerry continued, ‘go to those stories but honor the draw of where your soul is taking you because if you are in joy, if you are in success, if you are in creativity then you are in the opposition to the systems that are telling us we are not fully human.’
Kerry’s glamorous ensemble comes days after she attended the 2024 Tribeca Festival in New York City.
For the occasion, the Little Fires Everywhere actress wore a leather-clad, low-cut brown vest with a belt and matching flared leather pants.
Kerry opted for light-colored pumps and a brown clutch. She accessorized with a gold pendant necklace, bracelets, and rings.
And amid her fashionable outing, the Emmy-winner spoke about her time on the hit ABC series Scandal, where she played D.C. fixer Olivia Pope from 2012 to 2018.

Crediting the show’s creator Shonda Rhimes for her on-screen connection with co-star Tony Goldwyn who played President Fitzgerald Grant, Kerry quipped ‘Always happy to talk about Shonda!’
‘I never did a chemistry read with Tony,’ she admitted to the event’s host, Jane Rosenthal.
However, Tony is now campaigning to get his former leading lady to appear on his current show, Law & Order.
‘I’m all for it,’ he told PEOPLE in 10 of a potential cameo, ‘I have been sort of needling her about it.’
And Kerry is all game to head over to the Big Apple.
‘I will go anywhere Tony tells me to go,’ she told the outlet.
The author added, ‘If you are in joy, if you are in success, if you are in creativity then you are in the opposition to the systems that are telling us we are not fully human’; seen with Tracy McMillan
Since wrapping up the beloved drama, Kerry has ventured into the world of writing, penning her memoir Thicker Than Water in 2023.
The Confirmation actress got candid on personal issues in the book, reflecting on past struggles with an eating disorder.
‘I was good at control. I could party all night and drink and smoke and have sex and still show up and have good grades. I knew how to manage. I was so high functioning,’ Kerry told Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts at the time. ‘And the food took me out. Like, the body dysmorphia, the body hatred, it was beyond my control and really led me to feeling like I need help from somebody and something bigger than me or I am in trouble, because I don’t know how to live with this.’

She continued, ‘I could feel how the abuse was a way to really hurt myself, as if I didn’t want to be here. Like, it scared me, that I could want to not be here because I was in so much pain.’
Kerry admitted that, at one point, she even contemplated suicide.
‘Yeah,’ the star said. ‘The behavior was tiny, little acts of trying to destroy myself.’
However, this isn’t the first time Kerry has opened up about her struggles with food.
‘I used food as a way to cope,’ she told Essence in 2009. ‘It was my best friend.’
Kerry revealed she even found a way to mask her issues using academics.
‘I’d eat anything and everything, sometimes until I passed out,’ she noted. ‘But then, because I had this personality that was driven toward perfectionism, I would tell people I was at the library, but instead go to the gym and exercise for hours and hours and hours. Keeping my behavior a secret was painful and isolating. There was a lot of guilt and a lot of shame.’
But these days, Kerry’s relationship with food has become much healthier.
‘I mean, I wouldn’t say that I’d never act out with food,’ she explained to Robin Roberts during her GMA interview. ‘It’s just very different now. It’s not to the extreme. There’s no suicidal ideation. That is not where I am anymore.’
