With the help of Scandal's costume designer Lyn Paolo, the duo has created a new line that fans are definitely going to love.
According to Page Six on Wednesday, the actress said, "It was really fun for Lyn and I, because there didn't really exist a line out there . . . that was able to meet our needs in terms of the elevated level of fashion of [my character] Olivia Pope. So we wound up inventing our own maternity wear and changing beautiful top-of-the-line clothes into maternity clothes."

What's more, Washington also says that while she absolutely loved playing Olivia Pope on the small screen, sometimes her fans can take her character's role a little too seriously.
She explained, "I once had a [flight attendant] tell me she wasn't going to let me on the plane unless I 'promised I wasn't going to cheat on the president.' I was like, 'I don't write the show.'"
During Monday's episode of ABC's The View, Washington says the pressure to always appear flawless does get to her.
According to Gossip Cop, she said, "As women we want to be perfect. I am also an only child. I am very aware of how people see me. I remember when I was in college someone told me that self-reliance was a character flaw. I thought, 'What do you mean?' I thought that's what the goal in life was, to do everything perfectly on my own. It has been a really important lesson for me in life to ask for help and just let myself be who I am."
