Taraji P. Henson's Instagram has been garnering a lot of attention online lately.

As posted to Taraji P. Henson's Instagram account, the Emmy-nominated actress said "Who saw that @applemusic Commercial? Had a blast with these two lovely ladies!!! @therealmaryjblige @kerrywashington #GirlPower Sooooo much fun."

The commercial that the "Empire" star was referring to of course was that of the new Apple Music ad that features Henson, artist Mary J. Blige and "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington dancing like no one's watching.

"It's like you have a boyfriend that makes you a mix tape, in your laptop," Kerry Washington said during the commercial, referring to the playlist function.

According to Vanity Fair, the new Apple Music ad was directed by "Selma" director, Ava DuVernay.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the Apple Music ad first aired during Sunday, the same night as the Emmys. Those expecting more of this fun commercial will be delighted as this is just the first of the three ads from Apple, with the two others set for release this week.

According to reports, users of the new music streaming service from Apple were offered a three-month free trial. In relation to the ad, it seems that the brand primarily targets women as it features the trio having a girl's day out.

Apart from Taraji P. Henson's Instagram, the actress was also making waves as she was nominated for an Emmy award last night, but she unfortunately lost to "How To Get Away With Murder" star Viola Davis.

However, Emmy or No-Emmy, the actress wowed the attendees at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, with an elegant black gown made by designer Alexander Wang, Fox has reported.

The black gown worn by Henson was adorned with bike-chain straps and she paired the "rock star-esque" gown with a tiny, triangular cut-out below the breast with a bob and minimal jewellery.
