Taraji P. Henson Debuts New Platinum Blonde Hair

We're guessing she wanted to have more fun.

Taraji P. Henson is known to have fun with her personal style — you don't get to play Cookie Lyon by playing it safe — but the Empire star unveiled one of her boldest looks to date at the premiere of her film Hidden Figures at the Toronto International Film Festival.
To bring a little extra attention to the independent film, which also stars Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae, Henson decided to go blonde for the occasion.

And, believe, she worked it:

Just goes to show that Taraji can really do no wrong, especially in the fashion and beauty department. Hopefully this edgy new look will stick around for a while.
