    SINGLE Taraji Dress Worn by Cookie Lyon

    /

    Cookie Lyon stunned in a 2015 SINGLE “Taraji” Dress in “False Imposition.” This dress is the latest look in Empire‘s “Cookie’s Closet” album. The brand’s print wrap dress features a red, white and black cheetah/leopard pattern. Other highlights include open flowing sleeves with strategic slits, caped back, and a flouncy skirt.

This is one of the things I love about Empire: the costume designer Rita McGhee not only sticks to the more popular designer brands but also includes more moderately known lines into Cookie’s wardrobe. Before the latest episode aired, I was not familiar with the SINGLE by Galina Sobolev line but Angela Simmons, Brandy,…
