look of the day: Taraji P. Henson

before wowing me at the Golden Globes last night, Taraji P. Henson looked stellar at the AFI Awards in los angeles a few days ago. i love this creamy white dress that she accessorized with many strands of pearls. this is quite popular right now ladies, so if you want to make a statement, layer the necklaces!

she finished the look with a great clutch (i believe it was snakeskin) and dark tan Christian Louboutin pumps. i love the hair and pretty makeup--nothing too outrageous, just classic and beautiful.
