Love the look? Then get it.

GlobalGrind is following the styles of the stars and breaking them down for you. We’ll show you how to achieve the looks that your favorite celebs wear from the red carpet to the airport. We’re even going to tell you where to get it all for great prices. Keeping on trend has never been easier. 

We’ve seen a multitude of celebrities in Gucci’s latest color blocked garments. Most recently, Kris Humphries‘ sweetheart, Kimmy K took on this wear-it-well-or-not-at-all Gucci challenge. But we think that one of the first stars to do it, Kerry Washington may have done it the best.

Kerry has always been an elegant beauty and in this teal meets purple Gucci dress, she shows that that fact will never change. The dress plunges in the front and criss crosses in the back to show off the sexiest bits of skin. The fit and feel of this outfit on her were beyond great. She paired her dress with some excellent accessories: a satin purple clutch with tassel feature, gold sandals, sparkling hoop earrings, and a dark watch. Natural make up, a little eyeshadow, and a simply chic, stylish braid helped in painting this perfect picture.

See how you can crush the look like Kerry did.
