Empire continually smashed records in its premiere season, going out with a bang with 'the best first season result any new series on any broadcast network has had since 2005,' as reported by Deadline.
And on Saturday lead actress Taraji P. Henson celebrated the successful first season - alongside co-star Terrence Howard - at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.
The 44-year-old stunned in a beaded mini-dress as she posed on the red carpet ahead of a special screening of the popular Fox series.

The stunning mini-dress was decorated with elaborate beading throughout, in a floral pattern in shades of olive green, ivory, and soft pink.
