Cookie Lyon Would Adore the Luxe Dressing Room in Taraji P. Henson’s Home
Cookie Lyon’s wardrobe might just be the second-most important character on Empire—after Cookie herself. And where better for a former drug boss to hang her leopard-print and fur than this custom dressing room—a converted bedroom that features built-in mirrored cabinetry and a large dressing table complete with a salon chair. The adjoining bathroom also offers a shampoo bowl.
In real life the dressing room (and the rest of the California home, which offers views of downtown Los Angeles) belongs to Taraji P. Henson, the looks and brains behind Cookie Lyon. The actress recently listed the house for $3.25 million.
Our second-favorite feature of the abode—after that dressing room—is the enormous Buddha keeping watch over the sink in the gourmet kitchen, which also offers an oversize prep island, stainless-steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. There’s also a separate pantry and a 600-bottle wine cellar.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home also features, according to Zillow, three fireplaces, Moroccan chandeliers, a custom media room, and a outdoor space with built-in seating and a hot tub. Have a look around.
