Following a brief stint with purple and gray tresses, “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson opts for another fabulous hairdo. And this time, the 44-year-old is embracing a curly blond coif with dark roots, similar to Beyonce’s signature, flirty look.
“Felt like a change… AGAIN,” the No Good Deed actress captioned her latest hair change reveal on Instagram.
A big change indeed, and we bet Henson’s now popular onscreen alter ego, Cookie Lyon, would approve of the lioness mane. From her luxurious lashes to her perfectly arched brows and gaudy gold chocker, the Emmy-nominated star looks every bit as fierce as her “Empire” character.
In June, the actress experimented with purple and grey tresses. Her stylist Marcia Hamilton told PEOPLE that she loves to switch it up frequently.
“She’s actually an undercover beautician, and I just love that about her because she gets it. Knowing Taraji, she will be moving into a different look soon, so I’m excited for the next challenge,” Hamilton shared.
Now, back on set filming season two of her hit Fox show, the former “Persons of Interest” star has been posting quite a few images via Instagram, giving us a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of Cookie’s hair and makeup looks as well as a few candids with her co-stars. Speaking of her fellow stars, we’re more excited than ever that Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitiz and more A-list celebrities are all-aboard to make guest appearances.
“Empire” season 2 premieres September 23 on FOX network. In the meantime, we’ll just have to enjoy Henson’s latest hairstyle, a look we could totally see Cookie rocking on the upcoming season. Do you love it? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
