Third place went to the ever impeccably-dressed Kerry Washington, who opted for a strapless, citrus-hued Prada dress. The "Scandal" star kept the look modern and sexy with a high slit, showing just a bit of a dark-crystal beaded skirt, and pairing it with an effortless hairstyle and smokey eye look. (Olivia Pope can do no wrong.)
