Taraji P Henson’s new look gets a sharp no from critics who demand the actress fire her stylist

Taraji P. Henson was one in every of several women honored at the 2024 Glamor Women of the Year Awards, held on Tuesday, October 8 in New York City.

During the event, Henson graced the red carpet with a dramatic and daring look that originally had fans comparing her look to Janet Jackson.

She wore a black, velvet, two-piece dress with a high collar and a cut just above her midriff. The cutout that connected Henson’s top to the collar and skirt showed off her underboob, making her look much more defined.

The sleeves of the dress gave the appearance of a cape or vamp as they fell down the sides, leaving a small train.

Henson’s stylists, Wayman + Micah, strategically ensured that every one the attention was on the dress and opted for easier pieces that complemented it. She wore dangling gold earrings, each with a pearl at the end, and statement heels from Schiaparelli’s Trompe-L’oeil footwear brand.

Although she received a lot of praise for her appearance, others didn’t like her outfit that she selected for the evening. “Good morning America” she posted video Henson on the red carpet, and one person commented, “I don’t love this new look, who styles my girl???

Another observer, who apparently had difficulty recognizing Henson, said: “It hardly looks like her.”

However, what surprised some fans about the “Hidden Figures” star’s overall appearance wasn’t her outfit, but her hands. Some people said her hands looked too big. One person said: “Her arms don’t look like they belong on her body… they’re too long. Nowadays, she wants too much attention by wearing less. The classic look is gone.”

Another wrote: “Something’s wrong here.” A 3rd person added: “I assumed it was another person’s body… I do not know, something seems weird. But love her.

A fourth said: “Definitely not in my opinion!”

When it involves Henson and her wardrobe selections behind her special day looks, the 54-year-old says comfort is a vital element.

Last week she said 21Ninety“I don’t care what the fly is – if I don’t feel comfortable in it, I can’t wear it. It affects my mood and the way I interact with people. If I can’t breathe in a dress or my feet hurt, how can you expect me to be graceful on the red carpet?”

Henson also gets creative with her clothes quite than sticking to fashion trends. “I was a rock star,” she said. “I do what I feel in fashion and I wish to have a good time, I enjoy playing. These outfits you place on grow to be these characters. Not that I’m changing who I’m, however it allows me to walk in a different way, have a different style and feel different.
