On Scandal, actor Bellamy Young's character, Mellie Grant, went from scorned first lady to president of the United States and—as you'll learn in her delightful episode of What I Wore When—she might have a pair of Zara pants and Nordstrom pearls to thank. Young explains the very deliberate outfit she put together to audition for the beloved ABC show in a now infamous role she admits changed the course of her life. Also discussed: the time Perrie saw Bellamy on Broadway playing a prostitute in a little-known 1997 musical called The Life; her past life emceeing child beauty pageants and holding temp jobs on Wall Street; and why this southern girl's last meal on earth would definitely include bourbon.
