Taraji P. Henson!Boy, what a difference a few years makes:
Yes, that is indeed the lovely Miss Henson back in 2002 chanelling way more Urban Pocahontas than one should be allowed at the "Undercover Brother" premier. Fast-forward to 2008...
And Taraji's earned her bonafides as a rising style star!
It's clear (even from the above '02 mishap) that Ms. P. Henson has always preferred a sassy, sexy steeze. She's now found a way to work her natural effervescence into a style that's both fashionable and personal , which, in this age of celebs and stylists slapping on whatever's hot (*cough* Herve Leger *cough*), is soooo refreshing.
Given her svelte hourglass figure, it's no wonder Taraji gravitates towards satin for evening. It's an unforgiving fabric but with her curves, the effect is elegant and feminine where it might look dowdy or unflattering on others.
Even when wearing basic black, Taraji finds a way to jazz it up using contrasting textures, eye-catching accessories, and pops of color. And speaking of color:
That is one thing this diva is not afraid of! She uses color expertly to add flair to an outfit rather than overwhelm it (those blue shoes are fierceness unto themselves).
...or sashaying down the red carpet, Taraji consistently achieves a signature look I'll call Confident Siren. This undercover fashionista has been found!
Check her out in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt and the upcoming "Not Easily Broken." Taraji P. is one we won't be sleeping on in '09!
