MISS KERRY AKA OLIVIA POPE
The 38-year-old actress is the cover star for the latest issue of The Edit, with the magazine's stunning shoot seeing Kerry put her
body in the spotlight in a series of designer dresses.
In the accompanying interview, the mum of one gushes about her love for Olivia, and how her famous character helped keep news
of her the birth of a first child a secret.
She may go barefoot in the shoot but Kerry tells Aliza Licht in the accompanying interview, that there's one important part of Olivia
Pope's wardrobe that helps her snap into character during filming - her signature heels.
'The biggest thing for me is the shoes. I'll wear Uggs around set, but I can't rehearse a scene in them because I don't feel like
Olivia until I put the shoes on. Shoes define how you walk in the world and how you stand, like: what is your posture in life?' she
points out.
As well as their choice in shoes, the actress adds there's another huge difference between her and her Scandal lead.
'A lot of therapy!' she laughs. 'Not to say that I have it all together, but I think I have a little bit more awareness about my behavior
patterns and I do the work it takes to get out of them.'
She's a huge fan of her own show, and also revealed that the series helped keep the birth of her first child, daughter Isabelle who
was born last April, a secret.
'Every Thursday within three weeks of my (daughter Isabelle's) due date, I loaded up pre-tweets based on the episodes and what I
would want to say,' she explains of preparing for the birth of Isabelle with her husband NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha.
'I tweeted in the very early stages of my labor. I figured that if I went completely silent on social media, then people would know I
was in the hospital!'
