The actress is known for having great style on and off screen. Her style has changed through the years and she has been seen wearing every style possible. Davis loves to play around with vibrant colors in a sophisticated way. The actress wore a show stopping ruffled yellow gown to the Cannes Film Festival last May. Even though she gravitates toward the vibrant colors, she still looks great sporting neutral looks like a white Valentino power suit she wore to the Paramount+ UK launch. Her closet is filled with different styles of footwear including pumps of all colors including pointy silver stilettos.

Davis plays the warrior leader Nanisca in the true story ‘The Woman King’. The movie focuses on a group of female warriors who protect the African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s. The drama film will be released in theaters on Sept. 16.
