Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard as well as their on-screen sons Trai Byers, Jussie Smollett, and Bryshere Y. Gray have all been given the Vogue treatment alongside, says the Daily Mail, but of course Taraji also known as Ms. Cookie Lyon takes advantage of the magazine shoot with such fierceness.

“It’s all about Taraji’s choices because you never know where she’s going to come from,” Terrence Howard says. “It might be an intelligent perspective, or an observant one, or a strategic, emotional, or defensive one. What Taraji has created with Cookie is that girl who’s had to come up by whatever means necessary – she’s given her a public forum.”

Well, we’re glad she took the time out to portray such an in-your-face character. No one else does it like Taraji.
