It's handled! Scandal star Kerry Washington stuns in white mini dress as she arrives at star-studded Global Citizen Festival in NYC 

She's had a great week thus far, as her popular ABC series Scandal returned for its fifth season, with a debut that ranked as the night’s top-rated and most-watched scripted program, per HeadlinePlanet.

And on Saturday it seemed Kerry Washington was ready to celebrate as she hit the star-studded Global Citizen Festival in New York City.

She was dressed to the nines in a fitted mini dress that showed off her toned pins, as she joined celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Zach Braff at the free event, curated by Chris Martin.

Kerry wore a strapless, white mini dress, which featured black lace-up embellishments along the front.

The short, form-fitting number highlighted the actress's slender arms and legs, and she coupled it with a pair of textured gold pumps.

She wore her long, raven tresses pulled back into a stylish, curled ponytail, and accessorized with a bright orange lipstick.

Kerry carried a small, black clutch, and was later spotted covering up in a chic, black leather motorcycle jacket.

Look scandalous in Kerry's Balenciaga mini dress

Though we haven't through about "tube" dresses since middle school, this dress from Balenciaga's 2016 Resort collection is forcing us to reconsider.

With its strict corset pinching bodice combined with statement ribbon lasso'ing up the front, we can't help but gawp at Kerry's look for the Global Citizens Festival.

We love the bold contrast between the ribbons and dress, it's both youthful and flirty. Kerry paired this outfit up with heels, naturally but it could look just as cute paired down with some white tennis shoes for a more sporty casual ensemble.

Unfortunately, Kerry's dress is not yet available for purchase but since it hails from Balenciaga's resort collection, it will be made readily available for you just in time for weather to start heating up during your winter vacay.

That being said, we've sourced a few options in our edit below to hold you over till then. Have a look!
