If there is one celebrity that is ready for Spring, its Viola Davis.

The Emmy Award-winning actress posted a photo on her social media accounts channeling the spirit of the new season, donning a bright yellow Greta Constantine gown and Louboutin heels paired with gorgeous teal stone earrings from Monies. For her glam, Davis kept it light and fun sporting a styled pixie cut and a pink lip.

Accepting her award, the actress looked like the icon she is and has always been. Davis was presented with the Icon Award at the African American Film Critics Association for her extraordinary acting and production work, as well as her various philanthropic efforts throughout her career. “Honored to receive the Icon Award,” the actress wrote the photo on Twitter while sharing her glammed-out look from what appeared to be the comfort of her home.
