Taraji P. Henson In Balenciaga – 2015 Met Gala

Taraji P. Henson attended the ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’ 2015 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday (May 4).

The ‘Empire’ actress was dressed in a Balenciaga column gown, fully beaded in a black floral motif in homage to the theme.

She styled the dress with Fred Leighton jewels, including a whimsically twisted pair of earrings.

While the look felt safe and was clearly not as intriguing or excessive as some of the other power gowns on the red carpet, it still resonated with the strikingly stark black-and-white contrast and the clear workmanship behind all that beading.
