Taraji P. Henson ensured all eyes were on her as she attended the CNN Heroes Gala 2016 held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on Sunday.
The 46-year-old actress was on hand to help honor everyday people for their extraordinary contributions to change the world.

The “Empire” star showed off her assets in a plum-colored cocktail dress from Greta Constantine’s Fall 2016 collection. She stunned in the figure-hugging frock, which had short sleeves, a cinched waist and a cleavage-baring plunging neckline.
Taraji allowed her curves to take center stage. She wore minimal jewelry, including just a bracelet and a ring. She then edged up her look with a pair of black lace-up sandals.
Her sleek center-parted bob and red lipstick completed her look.

Taraji’s sandals added an edgy element to her rather sexy ensemble. She picked a pair of Tom Ford sandals, made of plush black velvet material. These caged sandals have leather lace-up fastenings that wrap around the ankles and about four-inch heels.
