PETALING JAYA, Sept 23 — American actress and producer Viola Davis has gotten tongues wagging on social media for making a quick wardrobe change at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
The 54-year old award winning actress initially walked the Emmys purple carpet in a beautiful black and white Alberta Ferretti gown paired with black peep-toe pumps.
Later, she made this year’s Emmys a night to remember when she walked on stage to present the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, wearing sneakers.
Yup, you read that right.

The How to Get Away with Murder star switched her noticeably uncomfortable heels for a cosier option with a pair of fashionable shiny silver coloured platform New Balance sneakers.
Fans and fashionistas alike have been full of praise for the actress for her casual-chic style, saying that she looked amazing and that they respected her for the fashion statement.
Many social media users said that Davis is now their new fashion inspiration "for the rest of my life”, while others said that she was wearing sneakers with a red carpet gown "because she can”.
This isn’t the first time that Davis has made a wardrobe change during an awards show, as she also changed into a white pantsuit paired with sneaker-like gold Stella McCartney brogues at the 2017 Oscars where she won the award for Best Supporting Actress.
