Taraji P. Henson goes topless in Entertainment Weekly spread

Taraji P. Henson just brought a whole lot of sexy to the new issue of Entertainment Weekly.

The "Empire" star is the magazine's cover star this month and in the inside spread she ditched her top and showed off her incredible body. We're pretty sure her alter-ego Cookie would be very proud of her absolutely gorgeous spread.

Henson shared several photos from the magazine on her Instagram account and they were jaw-dropping. In one she's posing, sans top, and laughing with her hair flying back behind her. In another she's posed in a set of white sheets, staring seductively at the camera. In another, she's wearing a tiny tiara on her head -- because, she's the queen of the Empire.

In the magazine, Henson opened up about how "Empire" has really opened up new doors for her. She's getting way more feature casting calls than she did before and she's excited about it.

"I love features 'cause it's a chance for everybody to remember she's a character actress, not just Cookie."

"I haven't played a superhero yet, I haven't played a psycho character yet. I want to play a man, like I want to really disappear. I have so much to do," she told EW.
