“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington was just given a shiny new pudding pot from Harvard. The Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals gives their Woman of the Year award along with a spirited parade through Harvard Square and a roast.

The organization chose Washington as Woman of the Year for 2016 because she is the first black woman to headline a network TV drama since 1974. Previous recipients include Amy Poehler, Anne Hathaway, and Halle Berry.

It looks like she had a lot of fun during the festivities, and she certainly looked good doing it! Washington put together an all black look, but paired contrasting textures, which makes her look pop. I love the intricate lacework in her top, which really comes out well against the sleek leather a-line skirt.
