She's garnered two nominations for her work on Hidden Figures and Empire.

And Taraji P Henson certainly looked like a winner as she sashayed down the red carpet at the NAACP Image awards on Saturday.

The 46-year-old Person of Interest actress looked stunning in a sleeveless black number that fell all the way to the floor.

Of course the focus was a very high split that almost reached her waist and showed off her toned legs.

A piece of black leather also adorned the garment on the right side, which served as an interesting design element.

Some delicate, black strappy stilettos added a few inches to her five-foot-five-inch frame.

Accessories included a wide geometric bracelet on her left wrist and some very elaborate gold chandelier earrings which boasted some eye-catching red elements.

Her raven tresses were brushed to the right side, and also teased up into a tight bun on the top of her head.

Pale violet lip gloss, light blush and some particularly distinctive sparkly eye make-up ensured the Hollywood vet glittered for the cameras.

While Taraji will have to wait and see if she comes away with a win, 45 winners were announced on Friday, with organizers holding back nine more winners for the live broadcast on TV One.

The Barry Jenkins drama Moonlight racked up wins for outstanding independent motion picture, writing and directing. Mahershala Ali, of Luke Cage and House of Cards fame, took home the honors for outstanding supporting actor.

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story garnered three wins: outstanding directing in a drama series for John Singleton for the episode The Race Card; outstanding actor in a television movie, limited-series or dramatic special for Courtney B. Vance; and outstanding television movie, limited-series or dramatic special.

Black-ish also took home a trio of honors for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series, for Laurence Fishburne; outstanding performance by a youth for Marsai Martin; and outstanding writing in a comedy series for Kenya Barris for the episode Hope. The show's star Anthony Anderson will host the proceedings for the fourth year in a row.

Other notable victors included Idris Elba for outstanding character voice-over performance for The Jungle Book; Maxwell for outstanding male artist; and Viola Davis for outstanding supporting actress in a motion picture for Fences.

The ceremony - to be held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium - was slated to air on TV One, with the red carpet proceedings slated for 7:30/6:30c and the show at 9/8c.
