\n\tCrafted in a silky soft fabric, Washington\u2019s gown featured ruching on the fitted bodice, which also incorporated a subtle cutout and fabric draping. The flowing fabric of the gown created a short train that trailed Washington as she walked the arrival carpet. <\/p>\n

\n\tWashington\u2019s pointed-toe pumps coordinated seamlessly with her Zuhair Murad<\/a> gown, and the actress continued her onyx tonal motif with statement earrings and rings to accessorize her attire.
