Star actress is laid back on cover of Elle USA's April issue
Kerry Washington is laid back on the cover of Elle USA’s April issue. The star looked relaxed, as she talks about being a mother and starring in and producing her upcoming movie, Confirmation.

On the cover, the leading lady looks laid back yet sultry in a cotton sweatshirt from Shinola; diamond, onyx, and white gold earrings and an emerald, onyx, diamond, and white gold bracelet from Cartier; gold bracelets and a diamond and white gold bracelet; and her own ring. Styled by Samira Nasr.

In speaking on how Olivia Pope influenced her idea of motherhood, she explained; "Even though Olivia Pope has obviously made the decision that she is not a mom," Washington says, in reference to the 2015 midseason finale, in which—spoiler—Pope gets an abortion, "playing her made me feel like I could be a mom. Because she knows there's always another way—there's always a way to fix it, there's always a way to solve it, to win. And I feel like playing her made me feel like, All right, I can do it. I will figure out how to juggle it all."
