Celebrity moms got glammed up this weekend and stepped out for the Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles. Everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Jaime King to Jessica Biel put on their best ball gowns and gathered for a good cause. And also to honor actress Kerry Washington.
Kerry was presented with the Giving Tree Award. Shonda Rhimes presented her with the award and part of speech included, “Kerry is changing the lives of children in general. As many as she can. Which may sound ambitious, but if you think that, you don’t know Kerry.”
When Kerry spoke she shared about her pregnancy and visiting the obstetrician in Beverly Hills, whose husband worked with women in need. “I would ask about these other women because I would try to put myself in their shoes and make sense of their life versus my life. Try to make sense of this little girl from the Bronx who suddenly was walking into a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills — try to make sense of the fact that I come from a neighborhood where really by now I should have five kids and no degree and maybe be on unemployment.”
She also thanked her family for their support. “I’m so grateful for my family who is here tonight — for my amazing husband who is here even though our bathroom exploded today. He figured out a way to solve that problem — he’s the real gladiator. And to my beautiful mom who is here; thank you for getting me from the Bronx to here.”
Check out all of the fashion below. You’ll see glam looks from Gwen Stefani, Elizabeth Berkley, Rebecca Gayheart (but no McSteamy?!), pregnant actress Shiri Appleby, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and hunky husband Channing, as well as many others!
