Taraji P. Henson shimmered in dark gold when she hit the electric hot pink carpet last night for the Black Girls Rock! 2012 event, hosted by BET and held in New York City at the Paradise Theater.

Her Diane von Furstenberg “Delian” metallic jacquard peplum dress ($485, neimanmarcus.com) practically vibrated off the lights of the cameras. I really like the pencil silhouette, caftan split collar and frayed sheer insets at the open sleeveless openings. The design more than flattered Taraji’s curves. | continue reading..

Taraji P. Henson added a vivid pop of color to her chalky white ensemble when she stepped out on the red carpet last night for the CW, CBS and Showtime 2012 Summer TCA party in Beverly Hills, California.

The “Person of Interest” actress wore a slim-fitting tailored v-neck shift dress from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Gomez-Gracia. What seemed like a simple cut took on a whole new look when Taraji turned around. | continue reading..

Taraji P. Henson arrived at the Shrine Auditorium last night for the 2012 BET Awards and wore a bright mini dress.

The 41-year-old “Person Of Interest” actress slipped on a turquoise Zamen Jamal dress with a cutout neckline that was embroidered with metallic gold honeycomb netting, which continued at the bottom of the design.

I like the colors on her — it reminded me of Princess Jasmine from Disney’s “Aladdin” — but this wasn’t her most flattering cut. Sure, it showed off her great legs, but it was too tight in the bust area and therefore it caused some ‘smooshing’. | continue reading..

Taraji P. Henson was back on the red carpet on Friday night for the 43rd NAACP Image Awards!

The “Person of Interest” actress sparkled in a shimmering silver metallic crackle halter gown by Randi Rahm. It was a bit long on her small figure as the train puddles at her feet, but other than that — it fit her beautifully.

I love that she kept her bob haircut so sleek with swept bangs. Taraji’s metallic shadow was also bold enough to stand out, but subtle enough to not look like she was wearing a pound of make-up.

She completed her look with a matching metallic manicure and pewter evening bag.

I really liked Taraji P. Henson’s hair last night for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, but I wasn’t as into her dress and I would have liked to have been.

The “Think Like A Man” actress stepped out in a baby pink sequin halter gown with a plunging neck and leopard patterned skirt from the BASLER Spring/Summer 2012 collection by designer Brian Rennie. | continue reading..

I was surprised to see that metallic gowns were not that popular tonight, but fortunately they weren’t ignored either.

Christina Hendricks was one of the girl actresses to hit the carpet. The “Mad Men” star showcased her curvacious body in a custom design by Australian designer Johanna Johnson shimmering gown that featured a long train and very high center slit.

I made an audible growl when I saw that “Modern Family” star Julie Bowen had her hair in a low ponytail. She was wearing a fabulous silver lamé deep v-neck maco bead embroidered gown by Oscar de la Renta that was just begging for some red carpet bouncing luxurious curls. When you’re in such a sleek gown, don’t be afraid to add some volume to that hair! I wish I could have frozen time and ran to Los Angeles, pulled her hair loose and then ran back home to my computer to re-write this.

Anna Faris knows what’s up, she wore a deco metallic strapless gown from Reem Acra‘s spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection and left her goldie locks free flowing. I loved that she wore this dress, once the fall collections and then the resort looks come out, it’s very rare I get to see a spring dress from the current year this late in the game. Anna left out the belt that was paired with the dress for the presentation but I believe that was a wise choice.

Rachael Taylor, one of the stars from ABC’s “Charlie’s Angels” was another favorite of mine last night. I’m not a huge fan of pink but I thought she looked beautiful in this pale pink metallic placket strapless column Giorgio Armani dress. The Australian actress kept accessories simple but I really love her new sleek bob hair cut, it made her look seem somewhat effortlessly glam. | continue reading..
