Taraji P. Henson's new look.

Call me cynical, but I don’t believe in popping the question at first sight.  And no offense Khloe, but Taraji is a real Hot Mama!  Well, she is most of the time. In these photos, the Academy Award nominee flaunts her enviable curves and shows off her new look — long hair extensions.  I guess she skipped “Good Hair.”

I love Taraji’s hair short and sassy, so I’m not really feeling the weave. But the most bizarre aspect of her styling here are the crazy white circles under her eyes. Looks like someone forgot to blend in her concealer.

So what do you think of Taraji’s new look?  Is it Hot or Not?

Here are a few celeb looks that caught Hot Mama Daily’s attention:

Taraji’s flirty frock reminds me of a naughty chambermaid… 

Is Taraji trying out to be a "Moulin Rouge" can-can girl?

…and her pixie haircut is sassy and sexy.

Monique Coleman hits a silver streak!

I love the girly cut of Monique’s dress; it nicely accentuates the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant’s lovely legs.

The "High School Musical" cutie sports a foxy Afro.

And I’m all for sisters wearing natural hairstyles, but is Monique’s Afro Hot or Not?

Rapper Lil Mama's lip gloss is still poppin'.

Lil Mama looks like a ‘lil lady in this cute green dress accented by yellow pumps. But what’s up with Mama’s two-tone hair — is it Hot or Not? 

Keke Palmer sparkles in pink sequins.

“True Jackson, VP!” star Keke Palmer looks all grown up in this shimmery, multi-color beaded sheath paired with killer grey suede shoes.

Celebs like Taraji P. Henson can afford bold, beautiful and most likely expensive cuff bracelets (see above photos), but we can get the look for less at retailers like Banana Republic and Forever 21.

Insider bargain shopper  tip: If you’re in New York City, you can find the latest jewelry trends at wholesale prices at  Earrings Plaza.

Style tip: Try doubling up your bracelets for a funky, bohemian look.  For instance, pair a chunky cuff with a big bangle.

Penelope Cruz, pictured with Best Actress favorite Kate Winslet, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her funny and passionate portrayal in Woody Allen’s “Vicky Christina Barcelona.”  And she did it in style.  Cruz’s dress is a 60-year-old vintage couture gown.

Nominated for her touching portrayal of a conflicted and a protective mother in “Doubt,” Viola Davis wore an Oscar-ready gold gown.

“Slumdog Millionaire” co-star Freida Pinto looked like an Indian princess in her one-sleeved, beaded blue gown by John Galliano.

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” nominee Taraji P. Henson looked like Cinderella in her cream Roberto Cavalli gown and 19th century Fred Leighton diamond necklace.

So this form-fitting, Marilyn Monroe reminiscent white halter gown is a big improvement.  She’s becoming quite the red carpet head-turner, and I can’t wait to see what Taraji — who received a Best Supporting Actress nod for her role in the poignant “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” – wears to The Academy Awards on Feb. 22.

Below, check out the sexy black ensemble the actress wore to the Director’s Guild of America awards.

It’s award season and the stars are hitting the red carpet dressed to impress.  Inevitably, there will be a few misses to accompany the fashion hits.  I loved up-and-coming actress Taraji P. Henson’s portrayal of Brad Pitt’s adoptive mother, “Queenie,” in the excellent “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”  For that moving portrayal, Henson recently received a Best Supporting Actress nod at the Critics’ Choice Awards.

I’m certain that Henson, who also stars in the film “Not Easily Broken” (see the above clip) with perennial hottie Morris Chestnut deserved the nomination, but I’m not sure about her dress selection for the award ceremony.  The dress’s silver/metallic color complements Taraji’s honey skin tone, however the frayed edges are peculiar.  And although it seems to be a favorite with female celebs, I’m not a fan of the pushed up, bondage breast look.

What do you think?  Is Tajari’s red carpet look hot or not?
