Taraji P. Henson Makes an Entrance in Sexy Look at Time100 Gala

'The Color Purple’ actress is a Time100 Most Influential People honoree and was on the publication's Women of the Year list in February

Taraji P. Henson reigns as the queen of daring style.

During awards season, fans saw another side of the actress’ fashion sense. She wore everything from a strapless Giambattista Valli Couture gown at the Emmys to a striking design with a thigh-high slit at the Critics Choice Awards. And she's not done yet.

She brought her chic flair to the Time100 Gala in New York City on Thursday, April 25, where she made a fashionable entrance wearing emerald green from head to toe.

The Color Purplestar, 53, wore a satin corset gown that accentuated her curves and a sexy cutout. To accompany the look, Henson wore a cropped blazer.

She upped the glamour by wearing long dangle earrings, her brown hair in elegant curls, and bright green eyeshadow.

Henson is attending the event as one of this year’s honorees on the Time100 Most Influential People list. She announced the news on her Instagram, sharing a photo of her cover, in which she wears an Acne Studios red leather blazer and jewelry by Alexis Bittar and David Yurman.

“I am so honored to share my cover for #TIME100 with my community who has lifted me throughout my career. This is a milestone that I am so grateful for. Thank you @time for my flowers!!!” she captioned the post shared on April 17.

Henson received various supportive comments from many friends and colleagues, including actor Rafael de la Fuente, who wrote, "I will always remember how kind and supportive you were my first day on set with you. Empire was my first big show, I had never been around A-listers like you and Terrance [Howard], and you came up to me after we filmed my coverage and were so encouraging and sweet."
