Best TV Style: Scandal

op_1

Welcome to our final day of TV's best fashion.  If you haven't seen them already, make sure to check out our features on Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, and Revenge.

Our final pick? "Scandal", starring Kerry Washington.

The so-called "gladiators" making up Olivia Pope's crisis management team are always in tip-top style while fixing their clients' problems. Harrison's trademark suspenders and crisp suits and Quinn's impeccable business skirts and button down tops are always on point. That said, "Scandal" style is really all about Olivia Pope's killer white-based wardrobe. Invariably dressed head-to-toe in shades of white, cream, blush, and beige, Ms. Pope is the definition of cool, calm, collected confidence. Silky blouses, tailored pants, and luxurious coats dominate the closet of the crisis management specialist. Olivia has key pieces that she repeats, including a gorgeous white Prada purse, a Movado watch, and Gaspar gloves. Those gloves with her 3/4 sleeve coat? To die for. And those chunky sweaters that come out when she's relaxing at home? Most of us would kill to look that good lounging on the couch.

When asked about "Scandal" style in this month's Glamour, Kerry Washington says that it was her and costume designer Lyn Paolo's joint idea to have Olivia dress all in white. But it was Washington's idea for Olivia to always wear pants, as opposed to skirts, because she "wears the pants" in her office, with her clients, and in her romantic relationships. That might not be true for all of us, but we would love to look half as polished as Olivia on any given day.
