Hours after reports surfaced that thee "Scandal" star is pregnant with her second child, Washington appeared in a photo holding her baby bump at the annual event.

A spokesperson for ABC declined to comment on if the news will affect the premiere date for season 6 of "Scandal," but the network is scheduled to release its fall schedule on May 17.
