Henson has been making a number of public appearances as of late, fashioning unique looks that speak to the actress’ individual style sensibility. “The Color Purple” star recently attended the 2024 Met Gala on May 6, for which she wore an ornate custom design by Jonathan Simkhai with jewelry by Buccellati and shoes courtesy of Christian Louboutin.

On another occasion, Henson fashioned a floral Del Core gown for the 2024 NAACP Images Awards on Thursday. The gown came courtesy of the fashion house’s spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection, and featured 3D detailing, which was adorned with small crystals and shaped organically around Henson’s bust line and waist.

Henson has a penchant for making a statement with her fashion. The actress can seamlessly transition from muted, natural tones to vibrant hues and avant-garde designs. Her latest look at the NBC Upfront showcased the actress’ versatility when it comes to fashion, and her ability to add a pop of color and flair to her wardrobe.
