Viola Davis gave “lady in red” a new meaning at the 2017 Oscars on Sunday night. The Fences star was a vision in a fiery red off-the-shoulder Armani number with a flowing train. She paired the look with a chrome clutch, minimal jewelry and a fierce choppy pixie hair cut.

We love that she didn’t go overboard with the accessories, giving her eye-popping gown a moment to shine. The Best Supporting Actress winner has definitely been bringing some epic fashion moments this award season but this is our favorite. You’re killed it, Viola!
