She’;s one tough Cookie—and a super-sexy one at that!
Taraji P. Henson graces W magazine’;s August 2015 issue—dubbed #ThePopIssue—and the Empire diva is not shy about working her bodacious body in the photos. In fact, she even flashes a tiny slip of nip in one!

For the cover shot, Henson, 44, models a semi-sheer white tee, blue jeans, and bold arm bling. Wet hair, a nude lip, and a sultry smoky eye—not to mention her come-hither expression—add even more steam to the ensemble.

And it only gets sexier from there! One inside pic features the Hustle & Flow actress showing off her fierce figure in a crimson button-up blouse—completely unbuttoned. Not only does the pic put her ample bosom on display, but it also reveals a tiny flash of nipple.

Meanwhile, in two more inside photos (printed in black and white), Henson poses in glam frocks, including a pearl-studded sweater dress and a sequined halter dress with a liquid bodice.

Speaking about her famous character Cookie, Henson told the mag, “Not only would I never be offered a character like Cookie in a movie, but she doesn’;t exist. Cookie is bold and crazy, and she loves the struggle. She started from nothing, and now she’;s at the top. In that way, we’;re alike: Cookie is the American Dream.”
And to prove how much she means it, she even sang a bit of Drake‘s “Started From the Bottom” for W. Watch the video below!
