Sha'Carri Richardson shared the photo of Kerry Washington portraying her 2021 look for this year's Halloween.

Reigning World 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson has expressed her delight after American actress Kerry Washington donned her racing jersey during Halloween.

Richardson posted the photo on her Instagram stories to show that she had noticed Washington’s creativity during Halloween.

She dressed up in a makeshift version of Richardson's Nike sports top, what appear to be navy swimsuit bottoms, and a homemade Olympic team trials racing bib (featuring the name "Washington" in bold black ink).

The costume was nearly identical to the zigzag outfit Richardson wore to the track and field team trials back in 2020, where she won the women's 100m race in style.

She then wore Richardson’s signature orange wig and styled it half-up, half-down for accuracy. She added long nails, temporary tattoos, a red and white sweatband around her hairline, and layered necklaces to complete the cosplay.

The actress dubbed herself Sha'Kerry on Instagram and tagged the 4x100m World champion in the photos. Due to her creativity and attention to detail, she definitely scored several points.

She went ahead and displayed the whole look on her TikTok page and even lip-synced one of Richardson's interviews about her wig reveal.

"I'm still that girl, but I'm better. I'm still that girl, but I'm stronger. I'm still that girl, but I'm wiser. So, I had to shed the old and present the new," Washington said.
