Read an excerpt from Taraji P. Henson’s feature in InStyle Magazine:

Double take When we first met Henson in the “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” she won us over with her motherly smile and Southern charm. But when she walked in at the Oscars in that tiered cream Cavallim complete with chic bob and silky skin bedecked in Fred Leighton diamonds, we knew a red-carpet darling was born. All that jazz “Sexy is a feeling that comes from having an understanding of yourself,” says Henson. “You can be sexy in sweats.” But it’s jazz music, she reveals, that really unleashes her inner sex goddess. “The instruments tease you. I let my mind run away.” She’s got the look “Taraji can play a woman in her 70s or a drugged-out prostitute, and she’s still incredibly beautiful,” says Tyler Perry, with whom she’s currently filming I can do Bad All By Myself in Atlanta. She can’t hide it.” TARAJI’S CELEBRITY CRUSH Salma Hayek
