Taraji P. Henson Went For the Drama at the Oscars, and We're Here For It

Updated on March 5, 2018 at 8:55 AM

Last year, Taraji P. Henson channeled Princess Diana at the Oscars in a custom Alberta Ferretti gown, but this time around, she went for a way more dramatic look. The 47-year-old, who is presenting, stepped onto the red carpet in a custom Vera Wang Collection tulle dress and Jimmy Choo sandals.

This masterpiece features an illusion keyhole neckline, a sheer back, draped sleeves, and a high front slit. We need a minute to catch our breath after listing all those details, but we aren't mad at it because she looks gorgeous. The level of sophistication and sex appeal coming off of Taraji are out of this world. Read ahead, and see for yourselves.
