Taraji P. Henson picked up The Lucy Award for Excellence in Television at the Women in Film 2016 Crystal + Lucy Awards. For the occasion, she slipped on a Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 Black Leather Embellished Ruched Dress:
Taraji eschewed the runway’s striped socks and sky-high platforms for simple black pumps that let the showstopping dress play centerstage.
On the fence about the dress, but her hair and makeup were on point! And no one is more deserving this year of this award.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
*And you know Taraji gives a great speech! In it, she addressed the gender pay gap stating, “If I do a job just as well as a man, people tune-in every week, they see me, they root for me just like they root for him—why should my pay be less?”
She also implored all the women in the audience to have each other’s backs and stand up for one another. “We’re all we got ladies. If we don’t support each other who will?”
Right on Taraji, we couldn’t have said it better!
