Taraji P. Henson brought Western-inspired glamour to the Kering Women in Motion Talk with Dr. Stacy L. Smith event, held during the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday in Cannes, France. The actress was decked out in Golden Goose, wearing a matching set from the brand along with ankle Cowboy boots, also from the brand.

Henson wore a pair of the Low Wish Star boots in black leather with a tone-on-tone inlay star. It is one of the styles from Golden Goose‘s Wish Star Boots designs, which combines Venetian style and cowboy spirit. “The Color Purple” star wore the low version, which features a black leather upper with black leather inlay star, and tone-on-tone embroidery on the leg. The boots reach her lower calf, and there is a black piping detail and gold-colored metal plaque engraved with the Golden Goose signature on the Cuban heel.

Cuban heels are similar to block heels but are usually short to medium in height. They are typically found on boots, including ankle booties, combat, cowboy and Chelsea boots. Golden Goose also offers the boot in a taller version and other colors.

The black boots matched the crop top she layered underneath her jacket. The beige ensemble she had on comes from the Golden Goose women’s summer 2025 collection, which the brand describes as “a collection inspired by the harmony of nature, where every detail flows with ease.” Henson chose Golden Goose’s oversize trenchcoat with beige crystals to complete her look. Made of heavy cotton, the cropped and oversize trenchcoat, ending around the hips, features crystals of various sizes all over. The closure with five horn buttons and a striped printed lining.

On the bottom, she wore the brand’s matching beige circle skirt. In a cotton blend, the midi-length circle skirt features a front zip and an elasticated waistband that hits right around the calf, and has two pockets to add a casual touch.

Golden Goose reported substantial growth in 2024, with revenues rising 13 percent to 654.6 million euros compared with 587 million euros in 2023. “2024 has been a year of strong execution for Golden Goose, with double-digit growth underpinned by the continued success of our direct-to-consumer strategy and the strength of our unique brand and community,” said Silvio Campara, chief executive officer of the Golden Goose Group, at the time. The brand recently opened a new flagship in New York City, located in the Meatpacking District.
