Taraji P. Hensonplans on “giving what’s supposed to be given” while she hosts the BET Awards on Sunday.
Henson, 50, will be hosting the BET Awards this year. In typical BET Awards fashion, Taraji will have a grand entrance and multiple outfit changes.
This is not the first time that Henson has helmed an award show. Last yearshe hosted the American Music Awards, where her outfit changes were one of the biggest highlights of the night.

“I’m grateful that we’re giving Queen Latifah her flowers while she’s still alive,” she said. “This is an award that is long overdue for her. She taught me that it’s more to acting than just being in front of the camera.”
For Henson, the night will be filled with glitz, glamour and witty banter. She said that there will be a few outfit changes throughout the night, and that they’re each going “make you gag.” But for her, talking about fashion is nothing new — in fact, she loves shopping and donning the most fashionable looks.

TheEmpireactress is known for her head-turning looks and her effervescent personality that makes everyone around her chuckle. As to how Henson is preparing for the awards show on Sunday, she said that she’s doing the expected.
“Well, it’s not a strict diet, but I’m just watching what I eat so I can fit in all of these fabulous costumes that Jason is having made for me,” Henson said. “So, I have to stick to the numbers that he turned in for all of these designers. I am working out. That’s good for the body and for the mental, and just taking it easy, getting a lot of rest, drinking a lot of water, staying moisturized and out the way.”
