Kerry Washington is simple and natural as she pose in Allure magazine

Scandal star Kerry Washington is the cover girl for Allure Magazine's october issue.
The actress went natural for the shoot, from her hair down to her make-up free face. Speaking to the magazine, 40-year-old mother-of-two said she chose to become more natural since she had kids because she wants to inspire them to love themselves as they are.
"I like to wear my natural texture, especially now because I have children and I want them to know that their hair is perfect as it is. They don’t have to change it or straighten it. They can, but they don’t have to," Kerry said.
