Fans react to Viola Davis's fashion choice for the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet
The Vogue Magazine shared some pictures of Viola Davis' 2025 Golden Globes look on its official Instagram handle and captioned,
"The 2025 #GoldenGlobes isn’t just any other awards ceremony for @ViolaDavis. The EGOT winner will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, joining fellow industry titans including Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, and Meryl Streep."
It also added,
"While the occasion more than calls for a fabulous look, rather than commissioning a brand-new dress, Davis and her stylist Elizabeth Stewart turned to @Gucci to refashion one of her past pieces."
Within a few minutes, the Instagram post caught the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts. Comments of admiration poured into the comment section. A fan commented:
"The hair, the lips, the dress. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
As Davis stepped onto the red carpet, social media buzzed with admiration. Fans praised everything from her hairstyle to her choice of accessories. They jumped in to share their thoughts about the star's look of the evening. Below are what some of them commented on the post:
"Perfection down to every detail 💫💫✨✨," lauded a fan.

This is not the first time Viola Davis has chosen cape designs
Capes have become something of a signature of Viola Davis's fashion statement. At the Golden Gala in 2024, she wore a custom Dior gown with cape-like flowing sleeves, and at the LACMA Gala, she caught her fans' attention in the original version of the Gucci dress she re-wore for the Golden Globes 2025.
These capes visibly add a theatrical element to her outfits.
