Taraji P. Henson turned heads at the New York premiere of the second season of her drama series, Empire, on September 12 — a day after celebrating her 45th birthday.

The mom-of-one accentuated her figure and showed off a hint of cleavage in a black one-shoulder dress from Emanuel Ungaro’s Resort 2016 collection featuring a red-and-champagne striped panel detail on one side.

She kept her accessories simple, wore gold heels, and added a playful touch to the look with a Les Petits Joueurs piano clutch.

The frock looked great on her, but we were disappointed with the Bettie Page hairstyle.
