All hail Viola Davis, queen of the post-Oscars wardrobe change
Viola Davis had a very big Sunday night, winning the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Rose Maxson in Fences.
Just add her to the list of national treasures, right next to Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Not only did she get the honor she deserved from the Academy, she then moved everyone to tears with an incredible acceptance speech, expressing how thankful she was that she became an artist: “because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life,” she said.
Davis continued her winning streak after the Oscars by changing into a gorgeous white pantsuit and—wait for it—sneakers for the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
Now, wardrobe changes for Oscar after parties are common practice. But it's not every day you see a badass female go completely practical (but stylish too!) so she can celebrate her Oscar win in the most exuberant way possible.
We are so glad Davis did.
Tell us that would not be you if you also won an Oscar.
It so would be. This is major #OscarsGoals.
Bless you, Viola Davis, and your sneakers.
