Henson) her black plexiglass perfume bottle phone case (such a mouthful) in Empire episode 4 “False Imposition?” The sensual songstress hit up our favorite Cookie Monster to talk about her “Keep It Movin'” demo and to seek suggestions to make it pop.

    In “Out, Damned Spot,” Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) sheathed her enviable bod in a Diane Von Furstenberg Snow Cheetah Large Silk Jersey Wrap Jumpsuit. Currently a DVF exclusive and on sale for $299 on the site, this piece employs the brand’s most iconic jumpsuit style and their signature silk jersey. While most of Cooke’s voluminous mane hid most of the jumpsuit’s collar, I could clearly see the banded tie waist which aided my search!
