Yesterday evening, Saks Fifth Avenue threw a party celebrating the third season of hit show Scandal, and also unveiled window displays modeled after Kerry Washington's character Olivia Pope. Apparently the actress and Scandal's costume designer Lyn Paolo were up late Tuesday night adding some finishing touches to the windows. "My flight landed in New York last night at 1 a.m., and I hopped in the car and told my driver, 'Take me to Saks!'” Washington told Style.com. “'It's closed,' he told me, and I said, 'I know, but we need to go there right now!' We were running all over Fifth Avenue comparing our window to other windows." Although they admitted the Saks visuals team was phenomenal, both Washington and Paolo said they just had a much more particular vision of how Olivia Pope dresses, hence the middle-of-the-night switcheroo.
It was anecdote that Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes found particularly humorous, although she confessed that she’s not quite astype A as Washington and Paolo when it comes to fashion sense. "I'm a person who would be wearing pajamas every day if you let me. I knew when we were doing Washington D.C. that I wanted to make [the city] a bit more fashionable than it actually is. That's why I hired Lyn—she is just so good at what she does."
