Of the stylish power-fixer she plays in Scandal, Kerry Washington once noted, “All of her bags are Prada. Every single handbag—unless it’s a flashback episode. And they’re all stunning.”
The DC native is no stranger to the Italian superlabel herself. From the custom fall ’13 Prada gown (above) Washington wore to Scandal’s season premiere to stylist Lyn Paolo’s real-life purse that made it into the show simply because the actress loved it, it seems our girl is taking some style cues from her character.
So today we’re offering an ode to the outstanding accessory that defines Olivia Pope style: the Prada handbag. From dark ruffles to sleek, structured pastels, here are five bags she’s worn throughout the show’s two and a quarter seasons—along with some more affordable look-alikes you can snag for yourself.
