Jennifer Hudson seen on Feb 09 2012 in Hollywood, CA. Making an appearance on the red carpet for the premiere of Think Like A Man at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on February 9, Jennifer Hudson struck a pose and waves for fans. For her premiere ensemble, J.Hud wore a Gucci Resort 2012 look that consisted of a simple white t-shirt (like Splendid's 1 x 1 Short Sleeve Scoop in White) that was paired with a beige and yellow pleated skirt (go for a neutral option with BB Dakota's Kaley Skirt in Sleet) and a pair of bold blue Giuseppe Zanotti heels. An oversized blue stone necklace (try Amy DiGregorio's Salt Pond Necklace in Powder Blue) and a wristful of bangles (check out Jessica Elliot's Open Clover Cuff in Silver) completed her outfit. What are your thoughts on Jennifer's outfit here, everyone - are you feeling these pieces paired with such bright blue accents? As I'm sure you've seen (or at least heard about), Jennifer performed a moving rendition of Whitney Houston's classic song "I Will Always Love You" at last night's Grammy Awards, and it seemed like there wasn't a dry eye in the house. There's no question that Jennifer did the song proud - did you tune in? In other Jennifer news, she spoke out to The Huffington Post recently about how she feels as though she's treated differently because of her weight loss. She says, "Oh definitely [I'm treated differently]. I always say you never understand unless you’ve been on a journey like this. People are friendlier; there are more opportunities, more flexibility in so many different ways. I think it’s messed up that people are so image-driven and your appearance affects the way people treat you. It’s crazy and it may be something we do subconsciously, but there it is." Very interesting, what's your take?
Jennifer Hudson seen on Jan 12 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. Jennifer Hudson smiled and waved for fans and photographers at a book signing for her new book "I Got This" at Barnes and Noble in Los Angeles on January 12, opting for a bold and colorful fashion statement for her appearance. In a bright orange Balenciaga dress (Boulee has two dresses in a similar orange hue, such as the Serena Dress in Orange and the Blake Short Dress in Orange) paired with Lanvin heels, Jennifer accessorized with colorful earrings (try Calico Juno Designs' Siren 187 Earring in Gold) and a few simple bangles. Elizabeth & James' Two Tone Scallop Bangle in Sterling Silver is a nice option. A turquoise manicure completed J.Hud's ensemble. Are you into it, everyone? In other JH news, the newly svelte singer recently dished that she wouldn't mind gaining the weight back, if the right movie role presented itself. Says Jennifer: "When I do films, it has to be led by something through me — like my passion for it. So if I commit myself to something, then it'll be worth it no matter what character it is." What's your take on Jennifer's stance, readers? Would you feel comfortable gaining the weight back if the role called for it and you were in Jennifer's shoes?
Jennifer Hudson seen on Nov 05 2011 in Tokyo, Japan. Posing for photographs and flaunting her still-shrinking frame, Jennifer Hudson wowed in a black Michael Kors Spring 2012 maxi dress at the Michael Kors Celebration of American Fashion at the US Ambassadors Residence in Tokyo, Japan on November 5. The metallic gold python paneling on Jennifer's gorgeous dress added just the right amount of glamour, and the former "American Idol" contestant only added a delicate gold bracelet and ultra-sleek locks to finish off this look. For your own look-at-me moment like this, try either Soul Revival's Amy Maxi in Black or Sena's sexy Slit Maxi Dress in Black, and then add on Robyn Rhodes' Sophia Necklace in White Opal for that dash of gold. Finishing touch? A dainty gold bracelet like Jennifer's! Try Amy DiGregorio's Weir Village Bracelet in 14k Gold Filled. Can you believe how fab J.Hud looks here? It's hard to believe this is the same girl! While rumors have popped up recently that Jennifer's wedding to her fiance David was being put on hold - or even called off! - it seems that the "Spotlight" singer still plans on tying the knot. Case in point... she was wearing her wedding ring on the red carpet! While she didn't comment further on her marriage plans, she did Tweet her love of Japan to her numerous followers. Jennifer said: "I think I want to come live in Japan. I love it here! The people r the most humble n have such beautiful spirits. It’s so peaceful here, such a great feeling. I love that.” Sweet!
Jennifer Hudson seen on Oct 19 2011 in New York, NY. Showing up for the 13th Annual Saks Key to the Cure Campaign event that was held at The Crown in NYC on October 19, Jennifer Hudson flaunted her svelte figure in a dress from Elie Tahari's Fall 2011 collection. In addition to her designer dress, J.Hud rocked a pair of classic black peeptoe heels and a magenta manicure. For three dresses here on CoutureCandy that remind me of Jennifer's fab frock, check out Bianca Nero's Metallic Dress in Black and White, Kimberly Taylor's Ava Dress in Leopard, and Tibi's Confetti Shift Dress in Multi. From there, accessorize with a simple silver bangle and a cool pair of black heels. Giuseppe Zanotti's Camoscio Sandal in Nero are unique and will add just the right tough of edgy glamour to any ensemble. Are you a fan of JH's look here, readers? Jennifer has been in the tabloids recently due to reports that she is postponing (or even canceling!) her upcoming nuptials, however her camp is totally denying these reports. According to Star, "Jennifer and her fiancé David Otunga called things off since the two have been clashing over Jennifer's career obsession, commitment issues and reluctance to have more children." So, to clear this rumor up, Jennifer's rep simply told E! Online: "I can confirm that the story is not true." There you have it! Let the Jennifer Hudson wedding dress speculation continue.
Jennifer Hudson seen on Mar 07 2011 in Paris, France. Showing off her svelte figure overseas, Jennifer Hudson heads to Paris on March 7 to attend a dinner party hosted by the US Embassy in honor of Michael Kors. Jen paid tribute to the designer in a gorgeous figure flattering stretch wool crepe gown (show off your curves this spring in a dramatic yet simple gown like Tt Collection's Cristophe Double Layer Gown in Black or Gold Hawk's Eyelet Long Dress in Earl Grey), accenting the look with glowing makeup and long curls. Jennifer added sparkle with a pair of drop earrings (try Femme Metale's versatile Long Open Oval Chain Earrings in Sterling Silver), a gem encrusted wrap bracelet curled around her wrist (check out Amrita Singh's Milintica Bracelet in Silver), and a dazzling cocktail ring (like Amrita Singh's Ava Ring in Silver). What do you think of Jen's cocktail attire, does it suit her? I love the understated drama of this simple silhouette, so this one's a winner for me. It seems like Jennifer can do no fashion wrong lately, as everything she slips into looks gorgeous after her 80 lb+ weight loss! Jen recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she chatted about about her inspiration to drop the pounds: “I just knew, after I had my baby, I just wanted my body back. Whatever body that was. That was when I made up my mind, I was going to go for it… And then I realized when I was pregnant, I was like, ‘Man, I was wearing the same clothes I was wearing before I was pregnant.’ That was kind of like a wake up call and I wanted to set a good example for my son.” She's definitely made her goal!
Jennifer Hudson seen on May 16 2010 in Cannes, France. The lovely Jennifer Hudson poses with a gorgeous backdrop at the Terrazza Martini during the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on May 16. For her photo op Jenn picked a flattering grey dress with a bust boosting twist front detail (similar to KEEMiA's Sophie Cowl Neck Dress in Silver). The length is a little bit awkward, but I like that Jennifer isn't afraid to wear flats to an event, although something a little fancier might have worked better (love the playful bow detail on Gwyneth Shoes' modest Demi in Black). To add some glam, JH wore a pair of classy silver earrings (try Anna Beck's Bali Silver Large Drop Earring in Silver) and added some sparkle with a silver cuff bracelet (like Orka Messica's dazzling Gunmetal Chain Bracelet in Gunmetal or Amrita Singh's intricate Reina Filigree Cuff in Silver). Tousled curly locks and Jenn's famous smile complete the look. What are your thoughts, readers, is this a great casual look for her or would you have done it differently? If you're a fan of Jennifer's music, you'll be excited to hear she's in the process of recording her upcoming album, which is said to be quite different from her previous hits. An insider spilled to the NY Daily News: "The songs she recorded so far were mostly Euro-dance music suited for Rihanna or Lady Gaga…the consensus was that the songs were not so not J.Hud.” I'm not sure if that is meant in a good or bad way, but Jenn's rep got to the bottom of it: “We’ve received terrific feedback on the material,” adding that Jenn is only “in the beginning stages” of recording her album. Hmm, can't wait to see what she comes up with!
Jennifer Hudson seen on May 16 2010 in Cannes, France. Dazzling in a daring blue hue, Jennifer Hudson graces the red carpet during the 2010 Cannes Film Festival on May 16 in Cannes, France. Looking ecstatic to be soaking up the Mediterranean rays, Jennifer attended a cocktail party for her latest film Winnie at the Terrazza Martini. Putting her most elegant foot forward, Jennifer is stunning in her sapphire blue fitted cocktail dress (for similar sophisticated options try Suzabelle's Cecily Day Dress in Midnight Blue or Luc by Lucy's Kangaroo Pouch Kali Dress in Purple) with black leather heels (love the bandage style straps of Farylrobin's Jessica in Black) and a shiny gold cuff (opt for the simple elegance of Robyn Rhodes' Alice Cuff in Gold). Jen kept it simple with illuminating makeup, soft waves in her hair and a pair of subtle gold hoops catching the sun (play with Alanna Bess' Black Garnet Earring in Gold). What do you think of Jennifer's sophisticated style? I love everything except the drapy pockets at the hips – I've never understood the need to accentuate this area, but even on a curvy girl like Jen the dress looks fantastic IMO. The night before Jen announced her role in the new historical drama Winnie with her co-star Terrence Howard at her side, who will be portraying Nelson Mandela as Jen plays his powerful wife Winnie. After the Cannes festivities wrap Jen and the rest of the crew will head to South Africa to begin filming at the end of this month, producing what is sure to be an educational drama for the rest of us. Do you think Jen has the skills to pull off such a somber role?
Jennifer Hudson seen on Apr 01 2010 in New York, NY. Showing off her stunningly slim figure, Jennifer Hudson poses in a polished 'fit before going on Good Morning America to dish her weight loss secrets in NYC on April 1. Jen strutted her stuff in a flattering slim fitting blazer (I love Mason's edgy lapel detail on the Jacket with Chain in Black) over a loose tunic top (love the flattering drape of Splendid's Chunky Fine Racer in Wheat Germ) and curve hugging skinny jeans (The Battalion's Motorcycle Legging in Slate are a great pick). Jen paired the look with showstopping Givenchy Anaconda studded peeptoe boots, adding a chunky charm bracelet to catch the light (I can't get enough of Sid Vintage's unique designs like the Cold As Ice Rose Clasp Bracelet in Multi). Super sleek tresses and flawless makeup complete Jen's complete transformation from voluptuous songstress to Weight Watcher's latest inspiration. I just can't get over how fantastic she looks – her skin is positively glowing! As the new spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what Jen was eating to get so slim, but a hardcore trainer to the stars didn't hurt either. The Dreamgirls diva had Harley Pasternak at her side, who also helped Jessica Simpson slim down last year after those god-awful chili cook-off photos. Harley joked with People about the regimen he set up for Jennifer, “Our goal was to bounce quarters off her butt!" He continued, "I think she looks fantastic. She loves the way she looks but she really feels great." I couldn't agree more! Are any of you feeling inspired to hit the gym after seeing Jen's success?
