Her accessories included diamond-encrusted hoop earrings and a statement ring. She styled her hair with more volume for a fiercer look but kept her makeup feminine with pink shades.

Surprisingly, Taraji was the first to reveal the premiere date for the second season of Empire. When a Twitter fan asked when season 2 of the hip-hop drama series would premiere, she replied, “Hello! September 23 #Empire season [2].”
A few hours later, official @EmpireWriters confirmed the date, tweeting: “#Empire fans! @EmpireFOX Season 2 returns Wednesday, September 23, 2015! #MarkYourCalendars #GameTimeBitches.” Now, who’s excited?
