Taraji P. Henson had her entire outfit ready for Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, but Queen Bey herself ended up throwing a wrench in her plans.
Empire the star has set The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, the host showed off a sparkly ninja-themed suit with a silver chain, which Henson posted on Instagram. “I had already had my outfit picked out for (Beyoncé’s) show months before,” the comedian explained. “Then she does this: ‘Oh, it’s my birthday. Let’s all wear silver.” So, I mean, my house is being renovated and my clothes are in storage, so I randomly bought them from Instagram shopping pages.”
Henson noted that when the suit arrived it was of poor quality and was about to “throw it away” but decided against it. “At the end of the day, that’s all I had for Beyoncé. It was silver, with silver sparkles,” she recalled. “Long story short, I had to throw it away at the end of the night because there were snags and holes in it – but thanks, Instagram Shopping!”
