Taraji P. Henson flaunts bikini body in sizzling photo shoot in Mexico
Taraji P. Henson is on fire — figuratively, of course.
The “Empire” alum flaunted her bikini body in a sizzling photo shoot while on vacation at Nobu Hotel Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, giving her fans on Instagram the ultimate show.
“Turning up the heat for Virgo season baby ❤️🔥♍️🔥 #tphstreetstyle,” she wrote in the caption.
The slideshow of images included in the recent Instagram post include Henson, 55, rocking a burnt orange bikini, sky-high strappy orange stilettos, hoop earrings and oversized sunglasses.
In some snaps, she’s donning a complementary cover-up with tones of red, orange, yellow and more.
A more recent Instagram post features a video of Henson showing off the beach-ready and her toned physique look while strutting her stuff to Kelis’ 2006 hit “Bossy.”
The clip includes moments of the “Hustle & Flow” actress tossing her long hair around and blowing the camera a kiss.
“VIRGO BOSSES ✨ACTIVATE ✨ We so extra in all the right ways 🤭💋,” she captioned it.
Henson’s followers and friends praised her looks in the comments section.
“Auntie can you pick me up so I can hang with my young friend lol… you looking younger than me lol,” one person wrote.
Another added, “damn this video 8 hours long 😍.”
“Love & Basketball” actress Sanaa Lathan wrote, “Ok bodyyy ❤️🔥,” while Normani was near speechless and only mustered, “wowowowowoowwow.”
Henson is fresh off her run in the revival of August Wilson’s “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” — her Broadway debut. The Debbie Allen-directed show, which saw her star opposite Cedrick the Entertainer, played its last performance July 26.
It was her biggest role since she broke down in tears lambasting the Hollywood industry for alleged unequal pay — and the underpaying of black actresses — while promoting “The Color Purple” reimagining.
“I’m just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do [and] getting paid a fraction of the cost,” she said at the time during a radio interview with Gayle King. “I’m tired of hearing my sisters saying the same thing over and over.”
“I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ I have to,” she added. “The math ain’t mathing.”
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Henson — who previously toyed with the idea of retiring — said she “still [has] a love for the craft” but that “the rose-colored glasses are off.”
“This Broadway moment forced me to really sit down and pat myself on the back … that’s why I’m glad I came now,” she said, getting teary-eyed. “This is years of my hard work and me putting everything I have into all of these characters that I portray and earning the trust of my audience.”
“It is hard out here. People are barely getting by, eggs and gas and groceries and insurance [are expensive],” she continued. “So when people come out of their pockets to purchase a ticket that has my name on it, I’m going to give them everything I got.”
