Kerry Washington looks angelic while laying on a butterfly raft in colorful bikini… and trades compliments with Mariah Carey for #MondayMotivation
Kerry Washington and the star-studded cast of The Prom recently wrapped shooting for the upcoming musical comedy film during the COVID pandemic.
With some free time on her hands, and the coronavirus still raging in Los Angeles, Kerry Washington enjoyed a sun-soaked Monday relaxing in a pool in a stylish bikini while floating on a butterfly raft.
‘#MondayMotivation = @MariahCarey ….duh,’ the Scandal star, 43, wrote in a caption of her angelic-looking photo that was a direct nod of respect to the five-time Grammy-winning singer and her 1997 Butterfly album and song.

Being that social media users typically use the hashtag #MondayMotivation to post positive messages, quotes and photos on a Monday, Carey wasted little time in returning a compliment back to Washington.
‘#EveningMotivation (night owl) = binge watching scandal as Olivia Pope wears the white hat and rules the world. *Willing it into existence* LOVE YOU!’ Carey, 51, wrote in reference to her political thriller series that ran from 2012-2018, along with three red heart emojis.
