Washington gushed over her fashion statement via Instagram on Sunday, sharing a video of herself dancing around in the fiery garment. “What’s cooler than wearing Whitney Houston’s dress?” read text over the video as the New York native belted out “Nothing!” — a lyric from Houston’s hit “I Have Nothing.”
“No lies told,” Washington continued in the caption. “Whitney Houston’s ACTUAL @MarcBouwer dress she wore in 1996. Sooooooo incredibly special. #ABFFAwards here I come!”
Law Roach, who styled Washington, borrowed the ensemble from Bouwer’s archive. “And then THIS happened … Thank you @MarcBouwer for letting me go into your archives and borrow Whitney’s dress for @KerryWashington,” Roach captioned an Instagram post of Washington. Read More…
