We’d love to tell you all about how absolutely stunning our national treasure Viola Davis looked at the 8th Annual Oscars Sistahs Soiree in Beverly Hills Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, we can’t. Because there are no words that could do her and her dress justice.
We could say the perfectly form-fitting, plunging black dress looked great on her figure, and that still wouldn’t sum it up.
We could explain how the edgy cut-outs are a welcome departure from Davis’ typically classic style, and bask in how good she looks from every angle. Yet, that still wouldn’t be enough to express our many feelings.
We might even try to capture through written word how beautiful some of the other attendees ― including Octavia Spencer, Ruth Negga, Rosario Dawson and Tracee Ellis Ross ― looked in fringe, bold patterns and sheer outfits.
Unfortunately, we’re too busy trying to emulate their magic to do it.
So, in lieu of all that, here are a few more photos to swoon over.
You’re welcome.
