Kerry Washington on Valentine’s Day Plans & Joining Ben Affleck Thriller (Exclusive)

Kerry Washington stepped out in style for the Michael Kors show at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday.
“Extra’s” Adam Glassman spoke with Kerry, who raved over how Michael’s clothes are “truly timeless” and shared what her one wardrobe must-have is. "My wedding rings," she said, adding, "If there's the one kind of accessory that I can't live without or wouldn't want to live without, it would be my engagement band and my wedding band."
Kerry also dished on Valentine’s Day plans, saying that she’ll celebrate “probably with the family doing something casual and fun."
She elaborated, “I like to let my kids know how loved they are on Valentine’s Day, not just my husband… There’s enough love to go around.”
Washington recently signed on for Ben Affleck’s Netflix thriller “Animals” with Gillian Anderson and Steven Yeun.
She said, “It’s really exciting, because the last time that Gillian and I worked together was on ‘Last King of Scotland’ [in 2006]. That’s the last project that we did together, so this is a really exciting reunion.”
Gillian plays a fixer in the movie, so will "Scandal" alum Kerry Washington be giving her some advice?
"I don't think Gillian needs any advice from me," she laughed.
Another upcoming project for Kerry is “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” which is out in the “fall of this year.”
She recalled filming the movie, saying, “It was so much fun, and we have this text chain that’s still going on. We’re all a little bit obsessed with each other. It’s really a blast to be in the ‘Knives Out’ family.”
