The “What Men Want” star took the stage accompanied by fellow actress Gabrielle Union in a pair of sparkling peep-toe heels. The footwear was extremely similar to Andrea Wazen’s 105mm Katy pumps in white. Henson’s heels included white slightly iridescent cloth uppers accompanied by high-shine rhinestoned trim in silver.

Peep-toes gave the shoe a breathable touch. Stiletto heels rounded out the set, working to elongate Henson’s silhouette. The high-shine adornments created visual and textural interest. Jimmy Choo, Max Mara, Steve Madden and Aquazzura all feature comparable styles to the thespian’s own.

Paired with her dazzling footwear, Henson sported a two-piece ensemble made of a shiny cream fabric. the suiting-inspired set included a fitted blazer and a high-waisted maxi skirt with a slit up the side.
