About

InStyle U.S. presents an editorial feature starring actor Kerry Washington, captured through the lens of photographer Chrisean Rose. The shoot channels a distinct cinematic aesthetic, utilizing rich color-blocked interiors and curated botanical motifs to ground the portraits in a layered, textural atmosphere. The production leans into a warm palette, blending deep greens with vibrant coral pinks and mustards. Set design by Amy Jo Diaz provides a highly stylized environment, punctuated by ornate patterns and vintage-inspired furniture that frame Washington in varied, deliberate compositions. Fashion styling by Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi emphasizes tactile fabrics, ranging from intricate paisley prints and voluminous knits to structural tailoring and leather accents. Techniques such as natural light and clean studio framing accentuate the detail in the wardrobe and set, while hair styling by Carola Gonzalez and Takisha Sturdivant-Drew alongside manicures by Sreynin Peng complete the visual narrative.
