Taraji P. Henson made an appearance at the 2016 BET awards Sunday night and absolutely slayed in a sheer embellished pencil skirt and simple black strapless bodysuit.

Not only is the look hot, but the breathable fabric will definitely keep you cool. Taraji has officially convinced us that we need some sheer in our lives.
