Kerry Washington wore a structured Hermès leather dress and Paris Texas pointed boots at Apple TV’s 2026 Press Day in Santa Monica.
At the Apple TV Press Day in Santa Monica on February 3, 2026, Kerry Washington landed squarely in the zone between armor and elegance. There was nothing soft about it—at least not visually. She wore a black leather dress by Hermès, straight and sculpted, with contrast textures that refused to blend. The bodice—tight, zipped, molded—felt almost architectural. It gave way to a stiff front panel that split down the middle, revealing a slightly more supple leather skirt underneath.
Paired with that? A bold choice: the Paris Texas “Lidia” boots, glossy jet black with the brand’s signature extreme stiletto and toe like a dagger. Ultra-fitted. The shaft hit straight under the hem of the outer layer, the thigh gap just enough for a flash of sheer tights. Not leg baring. Not buttoned-up. Something in between. Movement made the leather shift—creased at the ankle, taut again at the toe.
Hair, long and center-parted, fell in natural curls, defined but casual. Makeup was calm. Slight contour. Nude lips. And the body language? Relaxed. Not a power pose. Just secure.
It was the kind of look that doesn’t raise its voice—but you definitely hear it.
