OHMYGOSSIP — Taraji P. Henson wanted to wear her PUMA sliders to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award on Sunday (29.01.17).
The 46-year-old actress was gifted a pair of faux fur pink Fenty x PUMA sliders by 28-year-old singer Rihanna – who is also the creative director of the sportswear giant – and the star has hinted her heeled shoes were so uncomfortable she wished she could have remained in the flat footwear, which she wore to travel in, to the star-studded event.
Alongside a picture of her neatly pedicured feet in the highly coveted shoe, which she shared on her Instagram account, she wrote: “Ooooooohhhhh HOW I WISH I could wear these all night!!! #TheCalmBeforeThePain #sagawards2017 THANK YOU @badgalriri (sic).”
And the brunette beauty – who alongside her fellow ‘Hidden Figures’ cast was honoured with the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Motion Picture gong – has admitted she felt like a real-life Barbie doll in her Reem Acra rose-pink chiffon gown, which was emblazoned with crystal detail that was carefully positioned to cover her bare chest.
Speaking about her extravagant ensemble to E! News at the prestigious bash, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, she said: “I feel like a Barbie doll!”
The ‘Empire’ star has admitted her full length frock gave her some trouble on the red carpet an even though she knew she would have to hiss at some people to prevent them from treading on her dress, she still had to mentally prepare herself for the do.
She explained: “People keep stepping on it. That kind of dress, you have to prepare yourself mentally, like ‘Get off my train!'”
