Being yourself is true beauty.
Fashion is all about self-expression, being who you are and letting that shine. At last night’s Academy Awards Viola Davis did just that. Taking off the wig makes it pretty obvious the actress is proud of who she is making her the perfect role model for all young women. What’s even better her husband is proud of her and finds her attractive no matter what, “If you want to wear it for your career, that’s fine, but in your life wear your hair. Step into who you are.” – Julius Tennon.
Now for the most important question asked that night, “Who are you wearing?” Ms. Davis was rocking an emerald green Vera Wang strapless gown. Shorter hair or an up-do make for the perfect hair style for a strapless dress because it accentuates the collar bone which I find to be one of the sexiest parts of the human body. Viola Davis’s natural hair just gives this dress a little something extra and the earrings really helped to compliment that. I normally prefer her in a lighter shade because it always looks striking next to her flawless, deep chocolate skin. For an example Google her Golden Globes look from this year or check out my blog post about it. However, this Vera Wang dress last night showed off her toned arms and fantastic body. The beading added a subtle embellishment; just the right amount of sparkle. I also loved the fabric change at the bottom of the dress that allowed it to elegantly flow across the red carpet. Someone hit a homerun! Viola may not have won for Best Actress in The Help, but she won two Brio Awards last night:
- Best Dressed
- Empowering Role Model
I think Viola Davis will be a trend setter for this spring/summer. Women everywhere should embrace what makes them special and unique. Let’s all go for a natural look in the warmer months. If you love who you are others will too. In the words of Viola’s Husband mentioned above, “Step in to who you are.” Those my fashionistas are words to live by.
How do you feel about Viola Davis’s bold move?
