PEOPLE magazine named actress Kerry Washington their 2013 World’s Best Dressed Woman, an honor that went to Gwyneth Paltrow last year.
The ‘Scandal’ star heads this year’s list because of her “impeccable style that results in haute hit after hit and nary a miss,” according to PEOPLE.
She shared her fashion philosophy, “I like to find balance in an outfit where it doesn’t feel too much of any one thing. It’s not dressing like a nun and it’s also not dressing like I’m in a swimsuit competition. It’s finding the middle ground.”
Washington, 36, hit Twitter after getting the news, “I’m a bit flummoxed, a lot delighted + truly honored to be named @Peoplemag’s Best Dressed! Couldn’t have done it w/o you @ErinWalshNYC! xo”
It has been a big year indeed for Kerry, who wed her NFL boyfriend Nnamdi Asomugha on June 24, 2013 in Hailey, Idaho. Her new husband is a 32-year-old cornerback with the San Francisco 49ers.
Also on the list of Top 10 Style Stars of the Year: Jennifer Lawrence, Nicole Richie, Zoe Saldana, Emma Stone, Lily Collins, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Chastain, Solange Knowles and Jenna Dewan-Tatum.
