Kerry Washington Styles Georges Hobeika for NAACP Creative Honors

Kerry Washington highlighted elements of old school glamour in Georges Hobeika at the NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors on Thursday night.

The “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” star wore a selection from Hobeika’s fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The black sleeveless crepe midi dress with pearl accent detailing throughout featured a midi hemline with strands of pearls sewn into the straps, bust and down the front of the garment in sinuous lines.

Washington paired her dress with pointed-toe black pumps with a slight platform. As for accessories, the “Scandal” alum further accentuated the pearl motif of her dress with earrings and rings. Glam included a high bun hairdo with strands of hair to frame Washington’s face, while makeup added dimension with bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip. Styling team Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn curated Washington’s look.

Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika’s eponymous multinational luxury fashion house has become quite popular for several high-profile figures, including Washington. Lili Reinhart also wore a look by the designer for her November 2025 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” wearing a strapless yellow gold dress featuring a slight sweetheart neckline, with scalloped shell cups for a nautical touch.

Kacey Musgraves, Kelly Rowland and Paris Hilton have also styled pieces by the designer in the past. Founded in 1995, Hobeika’s label caters to luxury fashion and ready-to-wear styles with esthetic romance, femininity and detailed embroidery.

Washington’s NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors dress seamlessly merged all three of those elements. A feminine silhouette combined with Old Hollywood inspiration and a bevy of intricate pearl beaded work throughout.

The NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors is a pre-show to the NAACP Images Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on Saturday night. Thursday night’s Creative Honors celebrated the behind-the-scenes work of creatives in film, TV and documentaries, among other disciplines.
