There was no red carpet at the SAG Awards this year, so Kerry Washington found a different way to show off her designer look.
On Sunday, the actress revealed on Instagram that she wore a sparkling blue Etro design for the virtual event. Her custom dress was sleeveless with a V-shaped neckline and an open back. It also had a thigh-high slit across its skirt and a beaded circle pattern that covered the gown from top to bottom.
Ahead of the awards ceremony, Washington jumped in a pool while wearing her mermaid-inspired outfit.
"#SAGAwards are going swimmingly…#MermaidVibesAlways ♀️ ♀️," she wrote on Instagram.

Her look also included a matching swimming cap, which covered her hair and featured the same design as her dress.

Law Roach styled her look and told InStyle that her overall ensemble was inspired by the 1920s and the Harlem Renaissance.
"The whole thing was, I think, very deliberate," Roach told the publication. "I took references to Etro. I told them what my vision was and then it became a collaboration between us."
Washington completed the look with earrings and a ring from Bulgari, which Roach chose as pieces that "could complement what was already such a strong look," as he told InStyle. He noted that he didn't want to add jewelry that would "get lost" alongside the rest of her outfit.
Washington also wore black sandals from Loriblu, blue eye shadow, and long nails with crystal details. Carola Gonzalez did her makeup for the evening using Neutrogena products, Kim Truong created her nail art, and Johnny Wright styled her hair underneath her cap.

"Grateful to the #SAGAwards for giving me a reason to get dressed up," Washington wrote on Instagram. "You gotta ditch the sweats when you're surrounded by all the BEAUTY & BRILLIANCE in this category."
"Sooooooooo honored to be nominated for #LittleFiresEverywhere among you ladies, #MichaelaCoel, @anyataylorjoy, @nicolekidman & #CateBlanchett," she added.
