Viola Davis is officially an EGOT winner. The actress won her first Gramophone Award as Best Audiobook, Narration and Storytelling for her memoir, “Finding Me,” at the 2023 Grammys tonight. Davis did so in sparkling style.
Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the actress wore a colorful Naeem Khan gown for the event. The asymmetrical ensemble featured sequins all over with red, blue, silver and black sections. The skirt was completed with fringes that created a red and black checkered pattern.
For footwear, Davis slipped into a pair of crystal-embellished strappy sandals. Her heels were hidden, but the shoe likely featured stilettos reaching at least 3 inches in height.
“I wrote this book to honor the six-year-old Viola,” she said in her acceptance speech. “To honor her life, her joy, her trauma, everything, and it has been such a journey. I just EGOT!” she celebrated.
Davis won a Tony Award in 2001 for best featured actress in a play for August Wilson’s “Fences.” She later won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film adaptation of the play in 2017. The actress also received an Emmy Award for her leading role in the drama series “How to Get Away With Murder” in 2015.
