The night was all about celebrating iconic designer Gabrielle Chanel, and Washington told PEOPLE what makes her feel so iconic.
“I think the thing that makes me feel the most iconic is when I treat myself to a luxury experience, like a bubble bath with candles and a book. Like those moments where I feel like I’m in a moment of care and luxury? That’s when I feel the most picturesque,” she shared.
When asked what her most significant pieces of jewelry are, Washington replied, “my wedding ring and my engagement ring” from her husband of more than 10 years, Nnamdi Asomugha.
