Kerry Washington's baby daughter looks "just like her dad."

When asked how her daughter is doing, Kerry told the March issue of InStyle magazine: "[She looks] just like her dad."

The 38-year-old actress may have a busy globe-trotting career, which she now has to juggle with motherhood, but she appreciates that she can't do everything.

When asked about the difficulties of balancing a career and a family, she replied: "Women use this 'guilt' word a lot, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

"I know why it's the word that keeps coming up, but I can't co-sign on it yet. There has got to be a better way.

"You can't be all things to all people all the time. You have to experience your humanity, you have to know you are a limited vessel and can only do so much."

Meanwhile, the brunette beauty took to her Twitter account last night (05.02.15) to announce that she was the cover girl for the magazine next month and was "thrilled" with the outcome.

However, fans of Kerry were quick to criticise the publication for editing the cover photo in order to give the actress lighter skin.

One fan wrote: "They removed everything that makes her Kerry. Why the lighter skin, why the thinner lips? Lord forgive them."

Another added: "Some woman pretending to be Kerry Washington is on the cover of InStyle magazine. #Scandal"

While another chimed in: "What did InStyle Magazine do to my Kerry Washington?! The picture doesn't even look like her #whitewashing #Instylemagazinecovers. (sic)"
