OMG, we’re literally falling at Taraji P Henson’s feet, and you know why? That’s right — it’s all because of her stunning braided ponytail that reaches the ground! We’re not exaggerating when we say she’s giving Rapunzel a run for her money!
Just last week, Taraji P Henson made a surprise appearance at Abbott Elementary, leaving fans absolutely thrilled. But now, she’s leaving us speechless with her jaw-dropping, braided ponytail sliced back to perfection and long enough to sweep the floor. Henson was spotted rocking this awesome braid at the Fear of God Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear fashion show on April 19.
We can’t help but be grateful for the photos she posted, taken by the talented Los Angeles-based photographer, Mr. D Adams, which showcased her all-black ensemble and that mesmerizing braided ponytail.
Of course, we have to give credit hairstylist Tym Wallace, who regularly styles Henson’s hair and was responsible for this unbelievably sleek braided ponytail. We can only assume he used strong-hold gel because no hair was out of place.

How he brushed her hair into a low ponytail and then created, this floor-length braid is just beyond amazing. The burning question on everyone’s mind is whether he used standard Kanekalon braiding hair or human hair extensions. Plus, we love how Wallace kept Henson’s edges simple and elegantly swooped her baby hairs into a subtle shape.
But let’s not forget the magic that makeup artist Saisha Beechman worked on Henson’s face for the night. Her cheeks were sculpted to perfection, making her look like a goddess. Beechman chose to use dark shadows on her eyelids, which was simple yet super effective. We’re dying to know more about those thick, long, and wispy lashes — are they extensions or just a pair of falsies? And let’s not forget the muted rose-coral shade on Henson’s lips that tied everything together.
Henson looked beyond phenomenal with her strong lip and that sleek braided ponytail. We can’t help but give her a 10 out of 10!
