Sheer Talent

"This dress makes me feel like a mermaid coming out of the water. The detail is gorgeous, and it complements the beauty of the theater," says Hudson, who moved her family (fiancé David Otunga, 6-year-old son David Jr., and a 10-year-old nephew) from Chicago to New York City for her Broadway run. So far the crew is enjoying life in the Big Apple. "We love seeing musicals. We've made it to The Lion King and Wicked already. My son says, 'Mommy, this feels like home!'"

Grand Entrance

"This moment is captivating in every way. The chandelier, the Zac Posen gown, the atmosphere—everything is just so elegant," says Hudson, who plays glamorous blues singer Shug Avery in The Color Purple. When it comes to the star's off-duty style, she prefers something more low-key. "If I'm not comfortable, I'm not wearing it," she says. "I love cardigans and fabrics that flow."

Deco Diva

"This pose is more of a Shug moment than a Jennifer moment," says Oscar winner Hudson, who saw The Color Purple four times on Broadway and twice in Chicago. "She is such a different, funky character for me, and I was very attached to the book and the film." Another transformation? This year Hudson cut her hair short: "I like how the length shows off my neck. And I always need lipstick. My favorite is Heroine by MAC, a great purple!"

Beauty Highlight
Dramatic makeup made easy.

CoverGirl beauty ambassador Sam Fine wanted Hudson's makeup to evoke Hollywood glamour, so he opted for a classic smoky eye and bold mouth.

  • Start by smoothing on a powder foundation, such as Tom Ford Beauty Flawless Powder/Foundation.
  • "In order to complement Jennifer's purple gowns," Fine says, "I used a soft brownish burgundy eyeshadow" (CoverGirl Queen Collection 1-Kit Eye Shadow in Raisin). For definition, he traced Hudson's eyes with black liquid liner (try Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Pen) and finished with black mascara (Maybelline New York The Falsies Push Up Drama is a good one).
  • To create an arresting mouth, Fine used a plum lipstick (try Lancôme Color Design Matte Lip Crayon in Berry Haute), which he topped with a coordinating gloss (like Sephora Collection Oil Infusion Color & Care in Fresh Berries).
  • And to ensure that the chicness extended to her fingertips, Hudson's nails got a coat of Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Vamp, a deep wine.

    Plum Role

    As much as Hudson loves purple, she had to be persuaded to add the shade to her mostly black wardrobe. "My fiancé said, 'You're a girl; you need a favorite color!'" she says with a laugh. "Purple lets me wear color without being too bright." Here, teetering on top of upper-mezzanine seats, Hudson gamely conceals her fear. "If there's a place for me to [meet an untimely end]," she joked, "what better place than a theater?"

    Beauty Highlight
    The secret to perfect finger waves—revealed!

    "This is a very retro look, reminiscent of 1920s flapper style," says Hudson's hairstylist Cesar Ramirez.

  • To achieve it, he began by applying Mizani Foam Wrap Fast Drying Foam mousse to Hudson's wet hair, followed by a layer of extra-hold gel (try L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Lock It Clean Style Gel). "The Foam Wrap allows you to mold the hair, while the gel gives additional staying power."
  • Using his fingers and a fine-tooth comb, Ramirez formed and smoothed each ridge, clipping it into place. Next, he let Hudson's hair dry for a couple of hours while she had her makeup done.
  • Once her hair had set, Ramirez removed the clips and misted her entire head with shine spray (we like Pantene Pro-V Color Care CC Shine Spray) for an ultrabrilliant finish.

    "How do I take care of my voice? Plenty of rest, and I drink lots of warm water with lemon and honey." —Jennifer Hudson

    The Glitterati

    Hudson was so relaxed in this sparkly dress that she sang (perfectly on key, of course) Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke" while photographer Ruven Afanador snapped away. Speaking of comfort, Hudson let us in on her favorite comfort-food Christmas gift: pound cake made with the recipe her late mother, Darnell, used. "My mother always made it for the holidays, and now my sister does, so it's very special for us to give it to others. "

    Dress, Pamella Roland. Earrings, Miriam Salat. Ring, Sandy Leong Jewelry. Thin bracelet, Larkspur & Hawk. Wide bracelet, J/Hadley Jewelry. Shoes, Kate Spade New York. Draped jacket, H&M.

    Beauty Highlight
    Let your bare arms and legs shine.

  • Light bounces best off a smooth surface, so for extra-luminous skin, you'll want to exfoliate first using a body scrub, such as Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant.
  • Then lock in hydration with a lotion containing glycerin, like Eucerin In-Shower Moisturizer.
  • If you really want to shimmer, mix a little liquid highlighter (try Bobbi Brown Face Highlighter) into your post-shower body moisturizer.

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    A sequined dress gets even more glam with a statement coat, a floppy hat and flirty heels. "This is something I would wear. It's youthful, with a little attitude," says Hudson. The actress appreciated the passersby who recognized her as she posed for this shot outside the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, where the show opens December 10. "I was like, ooh, New York knows me!"

    Dress, Primavera, $199. Coat, Tadashi Shoji, $808. Hat, Eugenia Kim. Earrings, Dani by Daniel K. Necklace and double ring, Swarovski. Shoes, Kate Spade New York.

    When you can wear
    What you feel
    What do you wanna say?
    Now love
    Is a little number
    That you can
    Wear each day
    As long as you let me
    Be the accessory
    Simply send me
    On my way
    Style of love
    I look good in love

    When it's been
    Out of sight
    And out of mind
    For such a long time
    That's how one forgets
    So I reached
    In the back
    Of my closet
    And pulled it out
    And tried it on
    And it still fits

    So I covered the pain up
    With lots of MAC make-up
    But I can't help but blush
    Because I'm in love
    All dressed up in love

    Chorus:
    Cool in the summer
    Warm in the winter
    I'm dressed up in love
    I 'm cool in the summer
    Warm in the winter
    Cuz I'm in love
    All dressed up in love

    People are looking
    Some even staring
    I don't know it
    When they ask me sit down
    And we both
    Make it together

    Now if you really want
    One of your own
    I hope your shoes
    Are made for walking
    Cuz I found love
    And I you must find love

    (Chorus)

    Cuz I'm in love
    And you must find love

    Translation

    When can you wear
    How do you feel
    What do you want to say?
    Now love
    Have a small amount
    What can you
    Wear every day
    As long as you are me
    Be an accessory
    Just send me
    On my way
    Love style
    I look good in love

    When it was
    Out of sight
    And out of mind
    For such a long time
    That's how a man forgets
    So I reached
    In the back
    From my closet
    And pulled it out
    And tried it on
    And it still fits

    So I'm covered in pain before
    With a lot of MAC makeup
    But I can't help but blush
    Cause I'm in love
    All dressed in love

    Chorus:
    Cool in summer
    Warm in winter
    I'm dressed in love
    I'm cool in summer
    Warm in winter
    Because I love
    All dressed in love

    People are looking
    Some even looking
    I don't know what
    When people ask me
    What I wear
    This or that
    It's made
    For all weather
    My friend
    And I sit down
    And we both
    Do it together

    Now if you really want to
    One of your own
    I hope your shoes are made
    Made for walking
    Because I found my love
    And I must find my love for you

    (Chorus)

    Because I love
    And you must find your love

    Jennifer Hudson: "I love chocolate, I'm ready to eat it every day" | News of Kaliningrad

    Photo: imageholder.ru

    In the US, actress Jennifer Hudson spoke to Lucky magazine about who they consider the most stylish person, the fight against weight and how she herself likes to dress.

    “Grandfather has always been the most stylish person in our family. He was a big fashionista and could take me to his closet and say, " Hey Jenn, you should wear this ." All his clothes were very stylish. That's why I love menswear, ”admitted the Oscar-winning actress, star of Dreamgirls.

    According to her, she first thought about losing weight when she participated in the American Idol project: “ What? Should I lose weight? From where I come from, my weight was not considered somehow excessive. After some very hard diets, I looked great. But I love chocolate, I'm ready to eat it every day ".

    A sense of style and love for fashion led Jennifer Hudson to the idea that it was possible and necessary to launch her own brand, her own clothing line: “ I still can't believe that I have my own line. I have always loved and love flexibility and comfort. But not always stylish clothes are comfortable. I tried to solve this problem. I hate it when a guy and a girl go and they're fine, but she can't walk in those high heels, or you can tell she doesn't feel very comfortable in that dress. Gotta change it ".
