Taraji P. Henson Paired an Octopus Dress With the Tallest Platform Boots

The Little Mermaid remake isn't out just yet, but Taraji P. Henson's octopus-inspired dress may just have Disney re-thinking its casting for Ursula. Henson arrived at yesterday's taping of The View in New York City in a grey dress with statement-making sleeves, though they were draped across the skirt of the mididress, not on her actual arms. Instead, she added a pair of bronze gloves to the look and added sky-high purple boots to finish it all off — the ensemble was a full look from Marc Jacobs, courtesy of Henson's stylist Jason Rembert.

The sculptural, fuzzy dress walked Jacobs's Fall 2023 runway presentation but Henson's real-world look showed off the dress's movement as she swung the sleeves around. Kudos to the Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning actress for being able to maneuver in the sky-high boots, too. To finish off the look, Henson wore her short hair parted down the middle and flipped the ends of her bob in to create a sculptural shape to mimic the curves of the dress.
