Taraji P. Henson is getting ready for the changing seasons with her new hairstyle.
The Color Purple star swapped her dark tresses for a vibrant orange ‘do perfect for fall with her daring look at the New York City premiere of Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist Sept. 4.
Taraji arrived on the red carpet in a white deep-plunge Retrofete dress adorned with crystals. The long-sleeved mini dress also featured a spread collar and risqué slit on the side. She accessorized the look with silver Aquazzura heels and silver jewelry from Jacob & Co.
But the pièce de résistance for the 53-year-old’s look? Her asymmetrical orange pixie with a shadow root that complemented the new color perfectly.
The Hidden Figures actress is always down to show off a new style. After all, she’s dazzled fans with long, voluminous curls, towering braiding updos and bold bobs. Because for Taraji, hair is a large part of who she is. But, like other Black women, she didn’t see that when she began her career in the industry in the early aughts.
“There wasn’t any representation,” she told InStyle in April 2021. “Not like what we see now.”
