Kerry Washington Shows Us Why We Keep Reaching For Burgundy Style

Kerry didn’t just wear the color of the 2024 fall season—she owned it. Burgundy is having a major moment right now – its been seen everywhere from runways and red carpets to influencer “get ready with me videos” and nail colors.

The Scandal star made burgundy her own stepping out in a mini-dress with a sleek keyhole neckline from Genny. Draped over her shoulders was a glossy burgundy leather coat with plush grey fur accents that screamed luxe.

Kerry finished her ensemble with sleek knee-high patent leather boots in matching burgundy tones. The whole fit gave grown woman vibes while being fun, warm, and completely on-trend.

The author ushered in fall vibes with her hair and makeup, too. She styled her hair in tight, bouncy curls—a perfect nod to natural texture and the cozy vibes we love in the colder months.  And her makeup? A berry-toned smoky eye that made her eyes pop, paired with soft pink lips. The whole look was effortless, polished, and oh-so-fall.

Burgundy has been having a moment, and Kerry shows us why.

How to Try Out The Burgundy Color Trend This Season

Here’s how you can get in on the trend and make it yours:     

Do a Monochrome Moment

Channel your inner Kerry by rocking burgundy from head to toe. Think matching sets, dresses, or layering different shades and textures.

Pick a Standout Piece

A statement coat like Kerry’s is an easy way to elevate your whole fit. Look for one with fun details like fur, suede, or glossy leather to add swag.

Another way to stand out is through a coordinate. A chunky knit sweater, pants, or flowy skirt is perfect.

Play with Pops of Color

If, for some reason, you aren’t ready to go in, try it with hints of burgundy with accessories. Retailers are carrying several versions of scarves, bags, or boots this season. Subtle but stand out, you can still slay.    

HB, what do you think? Are you team burgundy this season like Kerry Washington this season?
