The form-fitting dress, adorned with loose sleeves stopping just above her elbows, radiated sophistication and glamour. Henson, known for her dynamic on-screen presence, paired the gown with a sleek, high ponytail and opted for minimal accessories, allowing the stunning gown to take center stage. Her fingers adorned with rings, she completed the look with strappy, gold, open-toe pumps.

Pictures production boasts a stellar cast, including Halle Bailey, Fantasia Barrino, Corey Hawkins, David Alan Grier, Ciara, H.E.R., and Deon Cole.
