She's a gem! Kerry Washington stuns in bejeweled pink mindress as she steps out in NYC ahead of Scandal premiere

Kerry Washington sparkled in a whole new way as she left her hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.

The 37-year-old actress was wearing a pink minidress that had sewn onto it several brightly colored jewels from purple to yellow. 

The Scandal star teamed her short-sleeved frock with a pair of shiny mustard-coloured pumps which coordinated nicely with the dress' details.
