Viola Davis in Raoul | 2012 Writers Guild West Coast Awards

Viola Davis joined her co-star Octavia Spencer as they supported Tate Taylor, who wrote the screenplay for their Oscar-nominated film “The Help”, at the 2012 Writers Guild West Coast Awards this past Saturday night at the Hollywood Palladium.

The 46-year-old star made a nice return to the red carpet after that startling exposed appearance at the NAACP Image Awards last Friday. For this ceremony, Viola wore a silky half white and half black halter-neck maxi dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Raoul that she defined with a thick black leather belt.

I really liked this dress on her and I think she wore the perfect belt to accent it!

Viola completed her look with a swept coif and dark red glossy lips.
