Viola Davis, on the advice of her husband, shed her wig for an appearance at the 5th ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood luncheon on Thursday. Her close-cropped natural hair style was quite stunning.
Julius Tennon encouraged his wife, “If you want to wear wigs for your career, that’s fine, but in your life wear your hair. Step into who you are. It’s a very powerful statement.
The actress is in the running for an Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Help. Will she revert to one of her signature wigs Sunday night or opt instead to appear au natural?
Davis wed her actor husband in 2003. He has two sons from previous relationships and they have a daughter, Genesis, born in 2011.
So which look do you prefer?
