Scandal Fashion – Olivia Pope in Rubin Singer

Olivia Pope by Veronica Marché

Omg, SCANDAL!

If you’re like me you’re COMPLETELY obsessed with Olivia Pope and friends. You probably even tweet maniacally while desperately trying to keep of with the breakneck pace of the show. Yes, Scandal is THAT entertaining, and tonight’s episode was no exception.

I won’t spill any spoilers. But I DO want to talk about that incredible dress Kerry Washington — sorry, Olivia Pope — rocked to the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Here’s the lowdown on the dress: it’s a 4-ply crepe gown in contrasting black and ecru, designed by the amazing Rubin Singer. (He also designed Beyonce’s costume for her SuperBowl halftime show, so clearly fierceness is his specialty.) Scandal’s costume designer Lyn Paolo styled the look with elegant but ominous long black gloves, chunky, geometric black earrings, and a fiercely elegant sideswept hairstyle.

I know we’ve seen Olivia Pope in some amazing ensembles since the show began, but I think this may be the most thrilling look yet. If you missed the episode (what were you doing?!) catch up on ABC.com tomorrow. And you can see more of Rubin Singer’s gorgeous dresses and gowns here.
