Viola Davis stepped on to the Oscar's red carpet in a classy, strapless emerald green "Vera Wang" gown and revealed she intentionally skipped the wig she usually wears on red carpets and for film roles. It is the first time the actress has rocked her natural short locks on a worldwide stage, and she states her husband, Julius Tennon, saw it as a potential opportunity for empowerment.
"My husband wanted me to take the wig off," she told "InStyle" at a pre-Oscar dinner in Los Angeles. "He said, "If you want to wear it for your career, that's fine, but in your life wear your hair. Step into who you are!""
And while Viola has said she's not giving up the wigs for good, wearing her own hair was an excellent choice for a big event like the Oscars. Perhaps she is preparing for a win and a chance to make a statement about her natural appearance? Win or lose, the natural look ended up being a wise choice, proving her family knew best.
Well, I couldn't agree more with her husband!
Do you agree??
