Completing the actress' outfit was white cardigan as she touches her purposely messy 'do while staring at the camera.

Meanwhile, the actress recently opened up about her two on-screen love interests in her political thriller series, Scandal on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 

'I don't enjoy either one,' she said, referring to Tony Goldwyn, who plays President Fitzgerald Grant, and Scott Foley, who plays Jake Ballard. 'I think they’re both lovely men.'

Kerry also confessed: 'It's awkward! But it's been awkward since the beginning. It's always awkward. It doesn't stop being awkward.'

‘Who do you look forward to kissing more?’ the 56-year-old talk show host asked. ‘Simple question. Who’s a better kisser?’ Ellen pressed, as Kerry struggled with her words.

The crowd gasped upon Kerry’s admission. Tony, 54, exclaimed: ‘I covered my ears at exactly the right time. I actually didn't hear that.’

The Django Unchained star hastened to add: ‘But I love my job and I like that I get to work with such talented, extraordinary guys…but it's awkward!’

‘She's a newlywed. Her husband is watching...she has to say that,’ Scott, 42, chimed in.
