Taraji P. Henson Reaches New Heights in 8-Inch Heels After ‘The View’

Taraji P Henson left the ABC studios after sitting down on “The View” in a stylish getup. The actress is promoting the collaboration between The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, which she established, and Kate Spade New York. The aim of this partnership is to provide wellness pods to HBCU campuses and benefit over 25,000 Black women across the country.

After her interview, Henson dressed up in a head-to-toe look from Marc Jacobs. The dress, made of luxurious faux-fur fabric, was coupled with an oversized jacket that wrapped around her waist. Straight off the runway, this look was featured in the brand’s spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection.

When it came to footwear, she strapped on a towering pair of platforms from Marc Jacobs’ fall 2016 collection.

Jacobs marked the fall 2016 edition of New York Fashion Week by presenting extravagant and larger-than-life outfits complemented by towering platform boots. This pair, specifically, featured a sky-high platform and heel height totaling 8 inches, along with intricate straps sprawling up the shaft.

The platform heel trend gained popularity in the 1970s with the disco era, and it has since made a comeback in various forms. Platform heels can now be found in a range of styles, from sandals to boots and they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

During her appearance on “The View,” Henson wore a more casual style, with a green sweater that featured a sequined butterfly, and white pants.
