Washington's hair was styled in hip-length braids, while her makeup consisted of black eyeliner and a nude lip.
In December, the Emmy-winning actress channeled Audrey Hepburn at a ceremony celebrating her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Washington was accompanied by her parents, Earl and Valerie, as well as Shonda Rhimes and Tyler Perry.
Washington donned a sleeveless black gown by Giambattista Valli, which featured a sequined lace panel, a bedazzled neckline and a bow tied at the waist. Her glamorous look nodded to Hepburn's iconic ensemble from the 1961 film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' designed by Givenchy.
Rhimes, who worked with Washington on 'Scandal,' called the actress 'a true star.'
'I'm really glad to be here for Kerry,' Rhimes began. 'This is so well-deserved….She's a bright soul who lights up any space that she's in.'
Washington also gave her own speech at the ceremony, thanking her parents for teaching her 'to dream.'
'They taught me to believe, and to pursue,' she said. 'So here we are. Mom, dad, can you believe it? An actual star? You made a wish, and it came true.'

Astronomer Launches Investigation Into CEO Andy Byron And HR Chief Following Awkward 'Kiss Cam' Moment
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his alleged mistress, Kristin Cabot, have found themselves in a world of trouble since being spotted at a Coldplay concert, and it doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. According to a message shared on the company's social media pages, they've officially launched an investigation into the matter and stated that they will share an update with the public soon. CEO Andy Byron Is Under Investigation By His Company After Awkward 'Kiss Cam' Moment With HR Chief Went Viral The Blast covered the news yesterday. Essentially, Byron, the CEO of an open-source technology company, and Cabot, the company's HR chief, were caught on the "kiss cam" at a recent Coldplay concert. However, instead of embracing the moment and displaying their love for one another when the camera landed on them, Byron, who is married, ducked down behind a fixture. At the same time, Cabot covered her face and turned her body away from the camera. Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, could sense the trouble in the air, joking, "Oh, what ... either they're having an affair or they're very shy." The awkward moment of Byron and Cabot has since gone viral on social media, prompting their company, Astronomer, to launch an official investigation into their alleged relationship. Astronomer Shares Official Statement About Investigation After Coldplay Concert Moment Sparks Intense Reactions 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' the company said across its social media platforms on Friday, July 18. 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' The company also addressed different claims that state another Astronomer employee, Ayssa Stoddard, was present during the Coldplay concert, adding, "... no other employees were in the video." They also declared that Byron has "not put out any statement" despite reports confirming he has. Byron And Cabot Share Questionable Statements In An Official Press Release According to Men's Journal, Byron, whose previous employment history includes high-level leadership positions at companies such as Fuze and BMC Software, has been with Astronomer since 2023. Cabot was appointed to her position as Chief People Officer in November 2024. At the time, Byron boasted about her "exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management [and] employee management." Byron continued, calling Cabot a "proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies" and highlighting her "passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces." Cabot also commented on her new position in November, saying, 'I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy." She continued, 'There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn't recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company. It's not just about benefits or catered lunches. There's so much more to it, and I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.' Social Media Users React To Byron And Cabot's Coldplay Fiasco Following the clip of Byron and Cabot at the Coldplay concert going viral, users have been quick to share their reactions to the drama. "Dear Andy Byron — You are not a victim," one user wrote. "You were in public. No one pointed a camera into your living room." Someone else wrote, "If you didn't want to get exposed, don't cheat."

Netizens Continue To Share Reactions To Byron And Cabot's Alleged Affair Being Exposed Over on Instagram, the reactions continued, with one writing, "I hope everyone who cheats gets this type of coverage." Another wrote, "I really feel sorry for this man's wife and children." "Caught cheating at a concert you coulda brought your girl to," a third person commented. "Now that's COLD... play."

More Celebs React To CBS Canceling Stephen Colbert Show
On July 17, news broke that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be canceled after its 11th season in 2026. During a heartbreaking segment on his show, Stephen announced the news, saying, "Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May." When the crowd booed, Stephen said, "Yeah, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of The Late Show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away." CBS's The Late Show franchise has been around since 1993 and was previously hosted by David Letterman. Not too long after Stephen's announcement, CBS confirmed the news in a public statement, explaining the cancellation was "purely a financial decision." Regardless of any public statement, people couldn't help but speculate that politics influenced CBS's decision to end The Late Show since the network's parent company, Paramount, had recently settled a $16 million lawsuit with President Donald Trump. Trump had accused the show 60 Minutes of editing an interview with Kamala Harris, which, he claimed, misled voters. On top of that, Stephen has always challenged Trump's administration. Amid CBS's sale to Skydance, he even recently criticized Paramount for paying the settlement, since they also need Trump's administration approval for the sale. "My parent corporation, Paramount, paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 Minutes lawsuit. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended. And I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company." Celebrities and politicians shared their thoughts on CBS's decision, and they're very upset, and many of them are claiming foul play. "It's bad," Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis said to Associated Press. "He's a great, great guy. They just cut NPR and, you know, public broadcasting. Yes, they're trying to silence people, but that won't work. It won't work. We will just get louder." Actor John Cusack shared an X post, writing, "He's not groveling enough to American fascism - Larry Ellison needs his tax cuts -- doesn't need comedians reminding people they are not cattle." Academy Award winner Zoe Saldaña reshared a Washington Post Instagram that said, "The highest-rated show on late night, 'The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert,' was nominated for an Emmy on Tuesday. On Thursday, Paramount/CBS announced its cancellation." Emmy and Tony award-winning actor Kristen Chenoweth expressed her shock and disapproval at the news of the cancellation. The Boys star Jack Quaid shared, "This is such utter horseshit. You are a legend, sir. Thank you for everything." Actor Ben Stiller wrote, "Sorry to hear @CBS is canceling one of the best shows they have. Wishing all the people who work so hard on that show all the best." Actor Kerry Washington shared a screenshot of her appearance on The Late Show with the text, "Endless laughs with you always @stephathome. So deeply disheartened and disappointed to hear about @colbertlateshow. You have a way of brining joy and finding the light even the scariest of times. We're forever grateful." Actor and director Olivia Wilde shared a broken heart emoji on Instagram story alongside a screenshot of Stephen Colbert. Your Friends and Neighbors actor Olivia Munn shared her heartbreak over the news. Actor John Leguizamo shared a series of Instagram stories calling to "boycott cbs," claiming the cancellation is "morally sickening." Actor Kathryn Hahn wrote, "I'm sick to my stomach. Thank you, Mr. Colbert, for your genius." Grammy award winner Jon Batiste, who once led The Late Show house band, wrote, "The greatest show to ever do it." Jon Lampley, who plays in the house band on The Late Show, shared a post on the show's official Instagram. "Being a part of this show and this band has been one of the great honors of my life. Nothing but Gratitude to be a part of the greatest team in Late Night." Fellow host Jimmy Kimmel didn't hold back on his Instagram Story and shared, "Love you Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS," referring to the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, its prequel, Young Sheldon, and the spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. "Boooooo. Paramount bending the knee to authoritarian strategy. I guess it's Make America North Korea now!!! Appreciate you Always SC!!!" Radio host Charlamagne tha God wrote. During a segment of his show, Anderson Cooper said, "I've had the pleasure and honor of being a guest on Late Night with Stephen Colbert more times than I can count. I just wanted to take a minute and say how shocked and truly sadden that I am by the news that his show will be canceled. Stephen Colbert is smart, and he is funny and he has actual conversations with people on his program... The thing that so many of us love about Stephen Colbert is he is at heart an incredibly decent human being with an amazing wife, family and strong faith." The Daily Show correspondent Desi Lydic expressed her love for Stephen. Fellow host Seth Meyers shared an Instagram story, writing, "For as great a comedian and host he is, @stephenathome is an even better person. I'm going to miss having him on TV every night but I'm excited he can no longer use the excuse that he's 'too busy to hang out' with me." "This is heartbreaking," journalist Katie Couric said in a lengthy Instagram post. "Stephen Colbert is more than a late night host. He is thoughtful, erudite and insightful. A really good human. And of course hilarious. This just seems wrong." Bravo's Andy Cohen was "so pissed off" by the news. Comedian Ziwe, who cited Stephen as an influence for her satirical style of commentary, showed her love amid the news. "You are so Loved Stephen. You cracked us up while speaking truth to power. You came to late night and conquered now take a well deserved vacation and think of what you may want to do next because we'll all be watching," comedian and actor Cheri Oteri wrote. Actor and comedian Rachel Dratch wrote, "So wrong on so many levels. Cant wait to see what you do next." Comedian and actor Ben Schwartz called Stephen an "Icon." Bowen Yang spoke to iHeart Radio at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards red carpet, saying, "It's so tragic. Late night TV is one of the only ways we have of processing news in a way that is tangible and beautiful and funny and the people who have hosted these shows are at the top of their game. It has given comedians and people in the industry something to aspire to. I think it's a really dark day." Author Stephen King shared an X post, writing, "Colbert canceled? Please tell me it's a joke." Former Democratic representative Stacey Abrams wrote, "The news of Stephen Colbert's late-night show cancellation is disheartening. I've been fortunate to appear on @colbertlateshow four different times. Each time, Stephen asked important questions and made sure to make us laugh." Sen. Elizabeth Warren shared her callout of CBS and the Trump administration on her X account, writing, "CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump - a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons." Minority Leader of the House of the Representatives Hakeem Jeffries said, "Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king." Sen. Bernie Sanders said, "CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO." And Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote, "Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less."
