Here’s Why Taraji P. Henson Should Host Every Single Event Ever

A scrapbook of Cookie’s turnt up Saturday at the Guys Choice Awards.

Ok, so Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards 2015 were on Saturday so this might be a minute late, but you know what, I don't have cable (like you), and this is worth it. Taraji P. Henson co-hosted the event with Terrence Howard, and the resulting press photos are an unequivocal testament to her bullet-proof swag. She sang, she laughed, she danced, she threw shade and stole the spotlight. We don't have any idea what she's saying/singing/laughing about, but the pictures really say it all. See for yourself.

Things started out innocently enough with this perfectly cut white pantsuit

Hair on fleek, clearly ready for something

She took photos with fans

A lot of them

Then took some red carpet photos with the Empire cast

But she quickly got bored of sharing the spotlight

And started vogueing

And letting Terrence Howard pick her up

And cheesing for the paps

Then there was an outfit change

And more heavy posing

And a quick shot with Zoe Saldana

Before she hopped up onstage

Where she shut out her co-host Terrence

Then there was outfit #3

And fist-pumping

And this pose

But blink and you missed it, because then there was the final fit, a black sequin minidress

A sparkly minidress is the international signifier of being champagne-drunk

As is this face

But if you thought she was enjoying herself onstage, you clearly haven't seen the after party shots

The after party is where Taraji was truly living her best life, hanging out with The Rock

And posing with Mary J. Blige

And showing love for some random models

Coooooookie

You are just the best.
