Viola Davis attended the SXSW premiere of “Air” taking an ethereal approach to power dressing.
Davis stars as Michael Jordan’s mother, Deloris Jordan, in the film. Deloris is now a New York Times bestselling author and serves on the board of directors for the Jordan Institute for Families at the University of North Carolina School of Social Work.
In addition to Davis, the film stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman and Marlon Wayans. The film premieres on April 5. Davis also recently completed the TV movie “Operation Othello,” where she provides the voice of the narrator. Davis made waves at the end of last year for her starring role in “The Woman King,” which garnered her multiple award nominations, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Motion Picture — Drama and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role. The film tells the story of the Agojie, an all-female warrior unit that protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey during the 17th to 19th centuries.
