When the Muppets Haunted Mansion star interacted with the audience by shilling her TPH by Taraji haircare products, she wore a side-parted bob wig with a fifties-style strapless purple dress.
Taraji - who's won six BET Awards between 2006-2017 - played into her dark side with a plunging navy blue number as well as an even more plunging black Elvira-inspired gown.
Henson relied on fitness trainer Ramon Terry to get her body ready to wear all the cut-out creations like the black voluminous dress she donned at one point.
The grand total on 'culture's biggest night' came to 10 - not counting the three-time Emmy nominee's red carpet dress, a $24,500 Tom Ford 'Embroidered One-Shoulder Chain Gown.'
