Taraji P Henson Is Fur Free

Her character on Empire, Cookie Lyon may be all about fur coats, but it seems Taraji P Henson wouldn’t be caught dead in real fur in her real life. Perhaps a refusal to wear fur during future scene shooting is on it’s way!

As she told NY Mag this week at The Golden Globes:

“I love clothes and to dress up,” Henson said backstage. “My fetish is shoes and purses, no fur, but Stella McCartney, who I am wearing tonight, she’s laced me with all these incredible faux furs. So thank you, Stella. I wish I was bold enough to live in the now like she does.”

Perhaps an entirely veganized wardrobe is on it’s way for the strong, talented, and extremely stunning Ms Henson!
