Viola Davis is embracing turning 60.

In the first photo in Davis’ carousel, she enjoys a dip in the pool with the sun beaming on her face. She also shared a picture of the words “Happy B-Day” in gold and white balloons along with the number 60.
The How to Get Away with Murder alum showed off footage of her brunch before posting a video of her loved ones singing to her as she was presented with a birthday cake topped with strawberries and sparklers. In one pic, Davis appears to show a moment of gratitude as she stands up and raises one hand in the air.

To round her post, Davis shared videos of herself and her guests dancing, a photo of life-size letters V and D near a circular balloon arch and ended with a photo of her holding up the peace sign with both hands.

“Best-kept secret? 60 is fabulous! I couldn’t feel any more blessed or loved,” she began. “Sixty years of love, lessons, and living with my whole heart. I’m so grateful for every single birthday wish, for the incredible people I get to share this life with, and for the unforgettable moments created at @suncabovacations.”
Taking a moment to look ahead, Davis concluded: “Here’s to the next chapter—deeper, freer, louder.”
In the comment section, Davis received well-wishes from fellow celebrities.
“60 never looked or felt so good !!!❤️,” Halle Berry wrote. Nia Long added, “Happy birthday, gorgeous lady! ❤️.”
Shonda Rhimes simply wrote, “❤️❤️❤️,” as Priyanka Chopra commented, “Gorgeous! Happiest birthday queen.”
Earlier this month, Davis shared the lessons she’s learned across the six decades of her life.
“I’m getting ready to be 60,” she told PEOPLE exclusively at the Aug. 8 AFI Conservatory Class of 2025 Commencement in Los Angeles, where she received the school’s Doctorate of Fine Arts degree, honoris causa, for contributions of distinction to the art of the moving image.
