Every Outfit Olivia Has Worn on Scandal Season 3

Olivia Pope is many things. Now that Barbara Walters is retired, she’s probably America’s Most Powerful Lisper. She’s also a dangerous person to associate with (RIP, Harrison) and a tough person to love. She always answers her phone, even if polite company would consider it a rude moment to do so, and apparently, she drinks wine wrong. She’s also, notably, a fashion icon, thanks to costume designer Lyn Paolo, who dresses Liv in a combination of ultraluxe textures and precision tailoring. Even in her pj’s, Olivia is elegant, precise — and maybe a little closed off. Here’s everything she wore in season three of Scandal. (And previously, everything she wore in season two.)
