Kerry Washington stuns the crowd in plunging silver jumpsuit with shiny embellishments

Among the many stars that attended the 72nd Tony Awards in New York City, Kerry Washington shone the brightest donning a sparkling silver ensemble.

The 72nd Tony Awards took place in New York City last Saturday, and Kerry Washington was in attendance donning a silver floor-length jumpsuit in celebration of Broadway's annual big night.

The "Scandal" actress showed off her gorgeous physique in a cut-out jumpsuit that featured a long trail, and an array of beaded embellishments were sewn into her outfit.

Her hair was left flowing down her shoulders, and she wore a dramatic smokey eye and pale lipgloss on her lips.

While Washington is best known for her role as Olivia Pope on "Scandal", she is no stranger to Broadway. The actress made her Broadway debut in 2009, where she played a part in David Mamet's "Race", and is set to appear on "American Son".

"Scandal" might have ended its successful seven-season run last April, but Kerry has been working hard on her next role on Christopher Demos-Brown's "American Son", directed by Kenny Leon which debuts in October.
