Based on what we've seen Taraji wear on the red carpet, there's one thing we know for sure: her wedding dress will be anything but basic. From thigh-high slits to plunging necklines and unexpected cutouts, everything the Empire star rocks has a high-fashion twist. While we have to wait until the big day to see what Taraji wears down the aisle, scroll through to check out our predictions.
