In Character: Olivia Pope
Ok, tell us: Is there anyone chicer on teevee than Olivia Pope? And the fact that her clothing has a chance to say anything amidst all the plot and ACTION on Scandal is pretty remarkable. Here’s how she gets the job done (and she always gets the job done). —erica
A Rag & Bone trench that communicates her number one fashion rule: Wear as much white as possible.
The sort of dress—by Lela Rose—that makes her presence at state dinners even more of a *thing*.
