Kerry Washington has been named the World’s Best Dressed Woman by People Magazine. The 36-year-old “Scandal” star headed a list of style icons that included Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence, singer Solange Knowles and actresses Jessica Chastain and Kate Bosworth.Discussing her style choices in an accompanying interview, Kerry revealed she prefers to stay covered up and comfortable on the red carpet.

“I don’t wear a lot of pants,” she told the publication. “When I go somewhere I want to know I’m going to be comfortable and I’m dressed appropriately for the event. You’re not going to dress the same way at the Inaugural ball as you would at the MTV Awards.”

The star said she enjoys wearing trainers when she’s off red carpet duty and prefers not to wear anything too skin-tight.
“It just doesn’t really fit my personality,” said the star, who secretly married NFL star Nnamdi earlier this summer. “I’m not exposed in my life and I tend not to be overexposed on the red carpet.”

People magazine executive editor Elizabeth Sporkin praised Kerry, who favours designers Jason Wu and Vera Wang, for her fashion sense.
“There has been a trend this year in lady-like fashion and I think she is almost single-handedly responsible for it,” Sporkin said in an interview with Reuters.

Kerry’s career has gone from strength to strength through roles in TV hit “Scandal” and Tarantino film “DJango Unchained”. The star has also been nominated for a Best Actress Emmy Award for her role as “fixer” Olivia Pope in “Scandal”.

Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence was named the star with the Best High Fashion Style for her array of stunning designer looks in the last year.
She famously sported a voluminous white Christian Dior gown to the February 2013 Academy Awards which she tripped over while making her way to the stage.

“She adeptly pulls off a wide range of looks. The fit and flare dress delivers a retro elegance that is still appropriate for her age,” Net-A-Porter’s Holli Rogers told People about Lawrence’s fashion sense.

Jessica Chastain, who Jennifer beat to the Best Actress Oscar, also gets an honourable mention for her red carpet look. Solange Knowles, meanwhile, beat her more famous older sister Beyonce to bag a place on the list — being awarded the accolade for Best Risk Taking Style.

“She really does push the envelope,” said Sporkin. “No one else would even think of putting together the looks she wears. She always pulls it off.”
