Best dressed at the Oscars: Lupita Nyong'o or Viola Davis? | The Tylt
The looks at the 90th Academy Awards were simply red hot fire! But Lupita Nyong'o and Viola Davis stood out even in that searing sea of slayage. Nyong'o shone in a one-shoulder, black-and-gold custom Versace dress; Davis glowed in an electric pink Michael Kors Collection gown capped off with a bold clutch. They're both queens and so regal that we can barely raise our eyes to them—but if you had to choose, who was the best dressed?

It's almost cruel that we are asking people to choose!
Best dressed is Viola Davis always and forever. She kills it. #Oscars #PrettyInPink

Popsugar claimed Lupita was the belle of the ball:
The Black Panther actress wore a fierce gold Versace dress that was custom-made for her. The designer number featured a slit up one leg and chain-link details across the bodice. She simply looked like a queen. Lupita topped off her regal outfit with a Versace clutch, Alexandre Birman heels, and Niwaka fine jewelry.
Best dressed list, for sure 😍 #Oscars https://t.co/i3wkJTdIl6

And she posted a photo of the dress to her Insta with the caption, "Vibranium by Versace. #Oscars #WakandaForever."
DEAD.
But then there's VIOLA. In sequins! And that color! And Donna Summer hair! People were apparently audibly gasping as Davis made her way down the red carpet and we don't blame them one bit.
Viola ALSO ALWAYS KILLS THE RED CARPET!
And the Oscar for “Consistently, Year After, Best Dressed” goes to Viola Davis. #Oscars
