‘I Wish You Were My Wife’: Kerry Washington Sends Fans Into a Frenzy with Her ‘Fabulous’ Natural Curls

Actress Kerry Washington appeared to be in a sharing mood on Wednesday, because she posted a video of her naturally curly hairdo that people had plenty to say about.

Washington is also wearing a multicolored dress in the clip, which she said is a Caroline Constas, as well as light facial makeup, lipstick and blue eyeshadow. But it’s the way she showed off her curls that seemed to get the most attention.

“Squad Hair @takishahair Makeup @carolagmakeup Stylist @josephcassell1 Nails @kimkimnails,” the “Scandal” star captioned the video.

“Oooh fabulous,” one fan wrote.

“Look up perfection in an online dictionary and it has this video next to it. ❤️💯😎,” another person commented.

“This look right here reminds me of a young Whitney Houston. I wanna dance with somebody,” a third person stated.

And perhaps not surprisingly, there were a lot of men who said they adored the Bronx, N.Y. native, while some took their shot and others expressed their wildest dreams.

“I wish you were my wife Kerry,” someone wrote.

Washington also posted a side shot of her curly do, as well as a full length photo of the colorful sequined dress.

From the perfect curls to the hair gems to the nails and that ombré eyeshadow… we’re inspired! #KerryWashington,” she wrote next to that picture.

In other news related news, the actress will be honored at Jamaica’s 57th Independence Black Tie Gala on August 10, which will take place at the Hilton Westchester Hotel in Rye Brook, N.Y., according to reports.

Washington’s mother is from St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, and the actress will receive an artistic achievement award.

Whether she’ll rock the curly locks to the gala remains to be seen, but based on the positive comments, some might say she ought to consider it.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
