There’s no denying Viola Davis is a style star.

The Oscar winner wows whether she’s slaying a look from home, on a virtual red carpet, or at a star-studded event. So, it was no surprise that when the Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom star made history earlier this week, her celebrity stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, celebrated with a tribute to one of Viola’s dreamiest monochromatic looks.
Viola dances around in a neon yellow Max Mara combo that fans went wild over
In a throwback video Elizabeth shared on Instagram Tuesday, the acclaimed thesp can be seen dancing in front of a curtain wearing a neon yellow Max Mara dress, which came complete with a one-shoulder top and a peplum, figure-flattering skirt. The matching blazer, which Viola draped over her shoulders, took things to the next level with its structured shoulders.
The look was from the How to Get Away With Murder star’s L’Officiel USA 2018 cover shoot - but it’s so good that fans - and we - are still obsessing over it nearly three years later.

“Congratulations! That yellow is so stunning! Shine on queen!”, one fan wrote in the comments on the post, while another chimed in, “Is there anything more striking than Viola in yellow?I think not.” Someone else replied, “Whoa this yellow is fire!”
Viola’s look is already sold out, so we tracked down an updated neon yellow combo for spring from Wolf & Badger, and a neon yellow Romwe bodycon dress to pair with the blazer for a different look for $6.99.
