Viola Davis arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Night Gala on Thursday, taking a colorful approach to red carpet dressing.
In honor of the 34th annual event, Davis wore a short-sleeved blue and red dress with a midlength v-neckline from Tory Burch. The custom dress had red trim on the shoulders with red stripes down the front and red paneling on the sides. Davis accessorized the look with coordinating blue gemstone statement earrings.
To create her look for the event, Davis worked with celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart. Stewart also works with Jessica Chastain, Zoey Deutch and Amanda Seyfried.

For makeup, Davis worked with Sergio López-Rivera to create a look as comparatively colorful as her dress. She went for coordinating blue eye shadow and a glossy ruby red lip, with a touch of blush to accent her cheeks. For hair, she worked with hairstylist Jamika Wilson for a well-coiffed short style.
Davis was joined on the red carpet by her husband, Julius Tennon.
