Here’s Why Taraji P. Henson Should Host Every Single Event Ever

A scrapbook of Cookie’s turnt up Saturday at the Guys Choice Awards.

June 11, 2015

Ok, so Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards 2015 were on Saturday so this might be a minute late, but you know what, I don't have cable (like you), and this is worth it. Taraji P. Henson co-hosted the event with Terrence Howard, and the resulting press photos are an unequivocal testament to her bullet-proof swag. She sang, she laughed, she danced, she threw shade and stole the spotlight. We don't have any idea what she's saying/singing/laughing about, but the pictures really say it all. See for yourself.

Things started out innocently enough with this perfectly cut white pantsuit
Hair on fleek, clearly ready for something
She took photos with fans
A lot of them
Then took some red carpet photos with the Empire cast
But she quickly got bored of sharing the spotlight
And started vogueing
And letting Terrence Howard pick her up
And cheesing for the paps
Then there was an outfit change
And more heavy posing
And a quick shot with Zoe Saldana
Before she hopped up onstage
Where she shut out her co-host Terrence
Then there was outfit #3
And fist-pumping
And this pose
But blink and you missed it, because then there was the final fit, a black sequin minidress
A sparkly minidress is the international signifier of being champagne-drunk
As is this face
But if you thought she was enjoying herself onstage, you clearly haven't seen the after party shots
The after party is where Taraji was truly living her best life, hanging out with The Rock
And posing with Mary J. Blige
And showing love for some random models
Coooooookie
You are just the best.
