Taraji P. Henson joined Jimmy Fallon along with Quinta Brunson, John Stamos, and Craig Robinson for a fun game of “Wheel of Musical Impressions” on “That’s My Jam.” During the episode, which airs Tuesday on NBC, the actress did a rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” in Cardi B style.

For the occasion, Henson slipped on an all-black leather ensemble, with harnesses and silver hardware. The BDSM-inspired look featured a leather corset with rivet pants and coordinating hardware. The straps and rings added the perfect amount of edge to the getup.

Her boho-style knotless braids were styled in a unique updo, while her makeup remained moody but glamorous. She coordinated her jewelry with the hardware of the outfit.

On her feet, she sported black leather ankle booties, complete with a square toe set on a structured block heel totaling at least 4 inches. Leather ankle booties have been a trendy footwear choice for both men and women for many years. They are versatile and comfortable and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
