Last April Kerry Washington and her husband, Nnamdi Asomugha, welcomed daughter Isabella Amarachi Asomugha into the world. And, despite having a large baby bump the month before, the Scandal actress hit the red carpet at the Academy Awards wearing sparkly 5-inch Christian Louboutin heels feeling very “balanced.”

Even after her pregnancy, the actress manages to maintain her body’s equilibrium by shedding the pregnancy weight in two ways. “I’m mostly working 16-hour days and spending a lot of time running after my little girl,” Washington recently told a reporter at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

We’re not sure if she’s running after her nine-month-old in sky high heels, but when it comes to Olivia Pope anything is possible.
