Kerry Washington just waltzed into Hollywood and casually dropped the mic at The Six Triple Eight premiere! The 47-year-old icon-in-chief hit the red carpet at The Egyptian Theatre on Tuesday (December 3), flanked by none other than Oprah Winfrey (queen of everything, obviously) and Tyler Perry, the man who somehow writes, directs, acts, and probably caters his own movies.
But wait, there’s more star power than a solar flare! Kerry’s co-stars Ebony Obsidian, Gregg Sulkin (hello, British charm), Moriah Brown, Jay Reeves, Pepi Sonuga, Sarah Jeffery, Shanice Shantay, Kylie Jefferson, and Milauna Jackson all showed up looking like a million bucks. Not to be outdone, producer Nicole Avant graced the scene, making it clear this was a major event—not your average Tuesday night pizza-and-Netflix situation.
And let’s not forget the diva detail of the evening: Oprah’s earrings! Yep, she’s rocking Nikos Koulis bling, because what else would you expect from a woman who probably has a walk-in closet just for her tiaras?
Speaking of icons, the movie itself is pure cinematic gold. The Six Triple Eight dives into the story of the first-ever all-Black Women’s Army Corps unit that served overseas during WWII. These ladies had to deal with racism, sexism, and work conditions that would make anyone question their life choices, but they didn’t just survive—they thrived. These women delivered hope (and mail, to be exact), while smashing every glass ceiling in sight. Talk about a Netflix-and-inspiration night!
As if Kerry didn’t already have us in awe, let’s just sprinkle in the fact that the day before, she bagged some “very prestigious honor.” Because of course, she did. When does she even sleep?
Catch The Six Triple Eight in select theaters on December 6 and then streaming on December 20. Trust us, you’ll want to pencil it in—because if Oprah’s earrings showed up, you know it’s worth watching.
