Jennifer Hudson Proposes to Her Fiancé. You Heard Us!

Yes, Jennifer Hudson is already engaged. The "Dreamgirls" Oscar winner was proposed to by David Otunga (aka "Punk" from the reality show "I Love New York 2") on her 27th Birthday last September with a huge 5-carat round center stone surrounded by diamonds and set in platinum ring by jeweler to the stars, Neil Lane.

But in a Sadie Hawkins Day turn of events, Hudson proposed to her already fiancé on his Birthday. (Think "Pretty Woman" line, "she rescues him right back.")

And this was no subtle return-the-favor proposal, Jennifer surprised Otunga with an equally impressive 5-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring, also by Neil Lane.

Jennifer Hudson only spent $36 on the dress for her album cover

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Either Jennifer Hudson's album team was working from a low budget or she's just a fashionista who likes a bargain. The dress for her album's cover only cost $36.00! How's that for a steal?

Tip of the day: Jennifer Hudson is too matchy-matchy

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


We love Jennifer Hudson. She's a fierce lady with booty for days. Her voice is fantastic as are her acting skillz and she's besties with Andre Leon Talley of Vogue fame (heart!). However, this Peter Soronen dress had us scratching our heads. Puzzled some might say. Bewildered for others.

It's almost as bad as the caped crusader fiasco at last year's Oscars. Her posture isn't as confident as usual, the bronze hue (which is tough to pull off as is) overwhelms her lovely skin tone, and the hair is too severe paired with such a strong dress. To top it all off with the bronze shoe is just too much. Maybe with some softer boob length waves and a strappy shoe in another color this might've worked but definitely don't try this look at home.

Jennifer Hudson is flashing her undies. Is SJP to blame?

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Dresses, Celebrities with Style


We love the fact that Jennifer Hudson is voluptuous and totally confident in showing off her curves. And we know she worked right along side Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City movie, so is SJP to blame for Jennifer flashing her bright pink bra at the MTV Movie Awards? SJP's hubby, Matthew Broderick probably thinks so.



In fact, he blames his fashion icon wife (and her most famous character, Carrie Bradshaw) for the trend of women showing off their sexy lingerie in public. But, back to the matter at hand -- Jennifer Hudson's bra. How do you feel about this look?

How do you feel about this bra-tastic look?

What the dreamgirl, this is a nightmare!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Have you ever played that game "Would you Rather"? Basically you are asked to choose from two horrible scenarios and decide which you would rather do. Okay, here is an example: Would you rather get hit in the head with a spiked baseball bat or would you rather have all of your toenails ripped out one by one?

I feel like I have been put in the same situation because I don't know who looks worse or where to begin on my spewing of insults.

Let's get the easy one over with first ... Andre Leon Tally, this man is like the drunken cross-dressing uncle I never had. He is lucky he is friends with Anna Wintour because without that sacred bond this man would be in a lot of trouble. When you are 6'7" and 400lbs (that was just a guess BTW) you don't need to draw further attention to yourself by draping your body in a giant caftan; this man needed to be draped in shame not a kind sized bed sheet with a hole cut in it.

Jennifer Hudson, how fast and far you are falling. I am in your corner, I am honey. I saw Dreamgirls and if it wasn't for you that movie would have tanked (really, Beyonce was horrible), but you need to keep up with appearances if you want to remain famous. Strapping on a mullet-like weave isn't the answer. Sure it looks all short and kicky in the front, but we don't need the party in the back (don't believe me, check out this photo). The color of the dress works for your skin tone, it is even pretty figure friendly -- its a shame it looks like you got it from bargain bin at Loehmann's.

A piece of advice to both of you; Jennifer, run away from Andre Leon Tally ... run fast. Andre Leon, run back to Anna Wintour ... as fast as a yellow taxi can take you.

Jennifer Hudson gets a fragrance deal

Filed under: Fragrance

Fresh off her Best Supporting Actress Academy Award win for Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson has a new role -- that of fragrance model.

Avon has announced that Jennifer Hudson will be the spokesperson for the Imari fragrance brand, including the newest scent, Imari Seduction. Imari Seduction is, wait for it, a fruity oriental (sigh, not another one) with notes of plum and purple orchid, vanilla, amber and musk. The new scent will go on sale in August 2007 and Hudson will be part of the new print campaign for the fragrance.

StyleFoul: Vogue editor picked out Jennifer Hudson's Oscar disaster

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

jennifer hudsonFortunately for all your Jennifer Hudson fans, the Best Supporting Actress is apparently not responsible for that awful dress she wore to the Oscars.

Oddly enough, the culprit is Andre Leon Talley, the editor of Vogue magazine.

A source told PageSix.com that "Jennifer was kind of sponsored by Talley and Vogue. Andre insisted that she wear that hideous Oscar De La Renta dress with the awful, awful gold python bolero."

The look has been widely criticized -- including some suggestions that La Renta and Talley were trying to cover up Hudson's fuller figure.

So it's official: everyone makes mistakes. And, sometimes, those mistakes are really, really bad, and in front of millions of people. Oops.

Jennifer Hudson's Vogue cover: Fun with Photoshop?

Filed under: Style in the News

jennifer hudsonVogue is notoriously skittish about putting overly curvy women on its cover, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Jennifer Hudson would be gracing the cover of the March issue. And then I wondered just how Anna Wintour and her teeny-tiny goddesses of style would arrange Hudson's generous proportions. The answer was revealed with a peek at the cover.

Gawker says Photoshop, but I say this is mainly a camera issue, the standard trick of having the things you want to appear smaller placed as far away from the lens as possible. I'm sure Annie Leibovitz had an eye toward thinness in composing this shot and the other pics. All around the web, controversy is swirling over the shots, possible airbrushing and whether Jennifer Hudson even "belongs" on the cover of Vogue. She's a babe but I think that just about every red carpet photo I have seen of her is more flattering than this shot.
