Just a few days after news of a best picture nomination for Hidden Figures, its star Taraji P. Henson enchanted her Instagram followers with a photo of sweet cosplay inspired by the film.

The photo shows three young girls dressed as the film's leading women, Katherine Johnson (played by Henson), Mary Jackson (played by Janelle Monáe) and Dorothy Vaughan (played by Octavia Spencer).

She captioned the photo: "I do what I do #SoTheBabiesCanDream."

In addition to best picture, Hidden Figures is nominated for best adapted screenplay, and Spencer is nominated for best supporting actress.
