The Hidden Figures actress brought killer cleavage to the Academy Awards in a blue velvet gown that deserves its own statuette.
The 46-year-old stunned in a navy Alberta Ferretti gown which featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and a thigh-high slit.
But while the figure-hugging silhouette was classic, Taraji managed to ooze sex appeal by bringing major cleavage to proceedings.
Did someone not remind her this wasn't the Golden Globes?
Combined with a smouldering stare, smokey eyes and a tousled bob, the actress was every inch the bombshell, resulting in a near-meltdown on social media.
One person wrote: "TARAJI P. HENSON DID YOU MEAN ACTUAL GODDESS??!?!?!?"
Another tweet read: "Gotta take a deep breath cause Taraji just killed everything and everyone."

Even though The 89th Academy Awards was overshadowed by the La La Land Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway accidentally named La La Land as the winner, when in fact, drama Moonlight had won.
Here are some celebrities whose dresses still take the center stage.
Taraji could make it onto the Dolby Theatre stage tonight, as Hidden Figures, in which she plays NASA genius Katherine Johnson, is up for Best Picture.
Elsewhere on the red carpet, Emma Roberts brought old school vixen vibes by rocking strawberry blonde hair with sideboob.
The American Horror Story star went braless in a unique frock which depended on just two skimpy straps of lace to cover her chest.
The flimsy top was attached to a demure cream skirt, resulting in the perfect combo of sex appeal and class.
The same couldn't be said for US actress Blanca Blanco, who accidentally suffered a wardrobe malfunction by forgetting her underwear.
Chrissy Teigen pulled off the thigh-high split with more success, looking stunning in an embellished nude gown.
The model was on hand to support husband John Legend, who stars in Oscar favourite La La Land.
