ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 4: See Kerry Washington, cast in new photo
For its upcoming fourth season, “Scandal” has decided to take a page out of the fancy playbook. Their official group promotional photo (per TV Guide) is sleek and sophisticated, and there is a part of us wondering if they are really just all about to take off to “nerd prom,” otherwise known as the White House Correspondents Dinner.
All of the outfits here are certainly glamorous, in particular some of the big gowns that you have on Kerry Washington, Katie Lowes, and the rest of the female cast.
But why make the image look as sophisticated as you have here? That is a very understandable question, and the easy answer we can provide for you here is this: It’s an easy way to get people more and more invested in the show, to the point where they are talking about it long before it premieres on September 25. If this was just an ordinary publicity photo, do you really think that it would be snagging anywhere near the attention that it is? Our answer for the time being is “probably not.”
Just for those curious, don’t take this as any reference at all that we are going to see these characters in these outfits at all when the show actually airs. These are not meant to be in-context representations in the slightest of any of the characters. Think of them more instead as just a nice thing to look at, and not a clue as to what is coming up with the story.
