“Taraji P. Henson Dazzles in Metallic Gianvito Rossi Heels at “Fight Night” Premiere”
In a star-studded event that transported us back to the glitzy ’70s, Taraji P. Henson stole the spotlight at the premiere of Peacock’s “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” in New York City. The “Empire” star’s ensemble was nothing short of spectacular, with a pair of show-stopping Gianvito Rossi metallic silver sandals taking center stage.
Henson’s footwear choice, the Lucrezia style, retailing at a cool $1,095, is a testament to the actress’s impeccable taste and flair for the dramatic. These silver stunners feature metallic patent leather uppers adorned with sculptural, asymmetrical wavy straps that catch the light with every step. The sandals are not just about looks, though – with a practical zipper closure and a 4.1-inch stiletto heel, they marry form and function in true haute couture fashion.
Complementing her show-stopping shoes, Henson donned a long-sleeve mini dress that was equally captivating. The white and silver fabric shimmered under the premiere’s lights, while structural shoulders and a plunging neckline added elements of power and sensuality to the look. It was clear that Henson, along with her co-stars, fully embraced the ’70s theme of the event, transporting attendees to an era of unabashed glitz and glamour.
This red carpet appearance is just the latest in a long line of fashion triumphs for Henson. Known for her bold choices and willingness to push boundaries, the “Hidden Figures” actress has become a style icon in her own right. Her red carpet repertoire includes stunning creations from the likes of Alexandre Vauthier, Vera Wang, and Giambattista Valli, often featuring daring elements such as feathers, pleats, sparkling embellishments, cutouts, and dramatic trains.
When it comes to footwear, Henson’s tastes are equally refined. While she often favors Christian Louboutin’s towering platform pumps, she’s not afraid to mix it up with slingback heels, over-the-knee boots, and strappy sandals from high-end brands like Valentino, Jimmy Choo, and Pedro Garcia.
“Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” the series that brought out this dazzling display of style, is Peacock’s latest original crime drama. Based on the book “Fight Night” by Jeff Keating and Jim Roberts, the show revolves around a heist that coincides with Muhammad Ali’s return to boxing in 1970. With a star-studded cast including Kevin Hart, Don Cheadle, Chloe Bailey, and Samuel L. Jackson, the series promises to be as exciting as the fashion it inspired at its premiere.
As the first season becomes available for streaming, one thing is certain – if the show is half as captivating as Taraji P. Henson’s premiere look, viewers are in for a treat. In the world of fashion, as in the world of heists, timing is everything – and Henson’s metallic moment couldn’t have been more perfectly executed.
