Dress like Cookie from Empire


Love or hate the #1 hit show "Empire" on Fox, there's one thing we can agree on: Cookie, played by actress Taraji P. Henson, is sharper than a mofo!!!

Cookie makes fashionistas ooh and ahh every Wednesday night at 9 p.m when we see the character, played by actress Taraji P. Henson, burning up the screen in over-the-top fashions that mix street with haute couture.

BA-BY! She's SNATCHED to the Gawds!

Her luxe furs, fedoras, leather, love of animal print e-rry-thing and fashion sense despite her character fresh out the yard after a 17-year-bid is smooth and edgy -- just like her street savvy character on the show.

Cookie is a fashion force to be reckoned with

Clearly, we dare not cross Cookie in real life --  or in fashion. Because Cookie is a damn BOSS who is WERKING it! I've seen Cookie wear a a mix of fab fashions --  Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Valentino, Herve Leger and Diane Von Furstenberg, just to name a show.

The great thing is, though, that you can get many of her looks on a budget. I am a Cookie fan who likes anything animal print, anyway. And the show does make a statement our girls need to see: You don't have to have EVERYTHING hanging out to get attention. Less is more. And you can be glam while being a LADY in body conscious fashions.

Want to get your Cookie on? Shop your closet with these Cookie-inspired looks, some of which are excellent low-cost dupes and budget friendly.
