Taraji P. Henson's Tousled Bob Is Perfection At The 2017 Academy Awards

The 'Hidden Figures' star just took our breath away with her sexy head-to-toe look.

If anyone’s embodying the words “screen siren” at this year’s Academy Awards, it’s Taraji P. Henson. 

The Hidden Figures star, clad in a curve-hugging gown and dripping in diamonds, is already a red carpet favorite tonight.

Her hair, tousled and styled into an A-symmetrical bob, hides her new undercut, but still looks “cutting” edge.

As for her makeup, the TV and film star is killing it in a smokey eye, thick lashes, perfectly plucked brows and berry pout. Her glow is courtesy of St. Tropez, just one of the brands makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff used on Henson.

Sexy, fierce and showing a little leg? We expect nothing less from the award-winning star.

Hidden Figures is up for three awards tonight: Best Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. We’ll be rooting for Henson and the entire cast!
