Taraji P. Henson wows in a plunging sparkly green dress as she arrives at 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards

Taraji P. Henson dazzled as she arrived on the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards red carpet on Thursday evening.

The 53-year-old Color Purple actress — who recently dished on firing her team — turned heads in a plunging green dress covered in tiny sparkly stones.

The slinky number flashed her cleavage and gathered at her waist before finishing with a draped split detail.

Henson added strappy, multicolor metallic open-toe high heels to the fun and elegant look.

She flashed her megawatt smile while posing for photos along the star-studded event’s step-and-repeat.
