Taraji P. Henson‘s signature style shone through tonight at the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards.
Walking the red carpet in Los Angeles, the “Empire” actress took the plunge in a statement-making gown this evening. The long-sleeve number comes courtesy of Elie Saab‘s resort ’22 collection and includes a glittering sheer black fabric with silver detail work.
The real kicker of the actress’ edgy look came with her choice of footwear. Lifting the outfit was a set of towering platform sandals from Sophia Webster; the black suede silhouette features crisscross straps over the toe, a platform base and a securing ankle strap. The finishing touch for the shoe was an almost 6-inch heel formed with stacked round crystal beads in one of the night’s biggest statement shoes.
