Viola’s ensemble had an X-shaped panel adorned with crystals that sat snugly across her waist to accentuate her hourglass figure.
Her raven tresses were brushed into a sleek, straight style that fell over her shoulders and she wore a glamorous palette of make-up for the occasion.
Adding to her look, the Widows star wore a dazzling diamond bracelet and matching earrings which matched her clutch bag.

Viola is a critically-acclaimed actress who received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2016 for her role in Fences.
But that’s not all, as the multi-talented star has also won an Emmy Award for her role in How To Get Away With Murder and two Tony Awards, making her the first black actress to earn the Triple Crown of Acting.
She has been married to Julius Tennon since 2003, and they adopted their daughter Genesis as a baby in 2011; Viola is also stepmother to Jules’ two older children from a previous marriage.

Speaking to Lorraine last year about raising her daughter, and interacting with other mothers, Viola said: ‘Being around other mums has not necessarily been the most pleasant experience.
‘I get it, though. I get it. We try to out-score each other with our kids. We just throw our kids in there.
Poking fun at her past encounters with competitive mothers, the How to Get Away With Mother star added: ‘People say, “My kid is better than your kid, my kid doesn’t cuss, my kid makes all straight. My kid has never done anything bad in their entire lives”‘.
