Viola Davis looked stunning at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

The actress wore a one-shoulder, black velvet and white satin paneled dress by Alberta Ferretti with Forevermark diamond necklaces to the glamorous event Sunday night.

However, perhaps her biggest style statement of the night came when she changed into some more comfortable, albeit equally stylish, footwear to present the award for best supporting actor in a drama series to "Game of Thrones'" star Peter Dinklage.

She changed from her heels into silver and black platform sneakers by luxury designer Hogan.
