I feel like I’m going to be yelled at for what I’m about to say regarding Jennifer Hudson and her figure. Okay… prepare yourselves. I think Jennifer Hudson has gained back some weight. And I think it looks SO GOOD on her. I think she had gotten “too thin” for her frame, and she looked deflated rather than slender and lovely. I’m happy that she’s gained some weight back, because it makes her look softer and younger and prettier. Go ahead and yell.
Anyway, J-Hud was wearing this silvery/metallic Jenny Packham dress. Look at the empire waist – that’s the trick that girls use when they’ve gained some weight in their midsection. Luckily for J-Hud, when she gains weight, it mostly goes to her boobs, her face and her arms, because those are the areas where she needed to gain a little bit back. The dress itself is cute but nothing special – but it is interesting to me how the Duchess of Cambridge has now made Jenny Packham a major designer. I had never been aware of Packham before Duchess Kate started wearing her dresses all over the place. I’m guessing Kate didn’t wear this one because it’s much too short for her current style.
One last thing – look at J-Hud’s fantastic legs! I wish my calves looked that great.

Girl…. that lacefront :-/
OMG Amen!
Is it just me or does she really resemble Fran Drescher here?
She has absolutely horrible posture. She would look so much better if she’d just stand up straight.
AND she’s knock-kneed. That’s why she’s standing so oddly, to try and deflect away from that fact. I mean who poses with their legs in a “V?”
Maybe PHilton, but that’s for another reason entirely.
Her body and hair look great but her face is almost unrecognizable… Botox much?
Oh that’s what it is. It don’t look like JHud at all.
I think she looks really good!
She looks the same to me. That dress is horribly tacky and unforgiving though. Everybody would look like they’d gained weight if they insist on wearing a silvery handkerchief.
I totally agree. What an awful dress.
ditto
To me the dress looks like its too small. I don’t like it at all!
Yes agreed. The dress is a light thin silver slip. But also she looks better than the quick weight drop she’d lost.
Ive been wondering since the last commercial for WW with the jumper onesie thing if instead she didnt get some filler on her marionette lines which is what was making her look really aged in the face, im kinda convinced of it
She gained weight back, making her face look fuller. I lost weight, and my face looked a lot older and tired. I’ve now gained 10 pounds back, and my face looks so much better!
I don’t care for that dress, it’s a bit cheap looking. She could do better.
I don’t know if she gained back or not, but I think she looks good at her current size. I’m sure it’s tempting to be Hollywood skinny, but I think that would be unhealthy for her.
She definitely needed to gain some weight; she was starting to look like a bobblehead.
I will be so happy when the Louboutin trend dies. Whenever I see a celeb posing in Louboutins on the red carpet I think that for status symbol shoes, they never look like they fit properly.
I think another problem is that she has really high arches. I also have high arches, and it makes wearing high heels difficult because it always looks like shoes don’t fit properly.
I wholeheartedly agree w/ you. She does look better. I don’t like that dress though.
She looks great! The boobs aren’t as wonky as they were for the…Oscars? I don’t recall. But her legs go on forever and she doesn’t look as strained in the face as she did 5 pounds ago.
She looks great. I also think she has gained back some weight. It DOES look pretty good. –She has a large head and with her body getting so thin she looked off balance.
I just wish that Jennifer (as well as some other celebrities) would be REALLY honest about their weight loss. —Jennifer DID use WW to lose weight. HOWEVER she also got a LapBand first. It is SO obvious. (And before anyone thinks I am a hater – I actually know some people first hand that have knowledge of this).
Jennifer is looking healthy. Pretty and talented lady.
yeah there was a blind item recently about a star who lost alot of weight and claimed it was weightwatchers but was really lipo…think it couldve been her. Myabe she used ww to keep the weight off afterwards.
The thing about the LapBand is that it is S-L-O-W. She would have had to had help in realizing this level of weight loss. I am happy for her though. Honesty would just be SO refreshing.
I think she looks fantastic.
Enn
You are SO right! Louboutins DO NOT fit most people correctly. They are cut very low and thin. Unless you have narrow feet they willnever loook quite right. Also, not the sort of quality you would expect for shoes that are costing $750-800+++
That dress is just awful… her make up on the other hand is amazing…
I think she’s improved. Jennifer Hudson is one of those people who look better with a fuller face, She looks fantastic! Healthy and Fit without having that Star Jones look to her face, she was starting to look weird to me with the excess weight loss.
I totally agree. The lines around her mouth were extremely pronounced. She started to look really weird.
The first picture makes her look as if she is about to wet her knickers
tacky, tacky dress
And if Waity tried to use it, it would look like loose tinfoil… Jhudson has the curves for the tacky) dress at least!
I agree that she looks good. Anyone’s calves would look that good in shoes with 6 in. heels!
I’m really happy for her weight loss, but I am tired of that aspect of her “career” being in the spotlight. Whatever happened to her music and acting careers? Doesn’t she get accolades for those anymore?
She looks great. Shoes don’t really match the dress though.
I think she unfortunately has no idea how to dress herself since she got thin. No matter what size you are (a 2, a 12 or a 22), there are probably certain parts of your body that you should emphasize over others. She’s got a great upper body — small waist and nice arms — but insists on wearing short dresses that are frankly very unflattering for her legs. I think she’d look 5-10 pounds thinner with an extra few inches on her hemline.
I completely disagree about the unflattering to her legs comment. I think her legs look GREAT. While I agree that she looks better with 5 extra pounds, I think her legs are anything but unflattering
that’s an odd looking body
I wish my body looked that odd.
I have to agree, I can’t for the life of me see what’s ‘odd’. I think she looks super.
I remember when I worked as a club promoter in Ibiza last Summer… saw less tacky dresses dancing on podiums
(She does look great though just ewwwwwww at the dress)
She looks gorgeous. Best she’s looked in a year, at least.
Wow – she looks amazing! Her face/bod are gorgeous. Seriously this gal’s figure is eye-poppingly good. I actually like the dress concept but it needs a couple of inches more at the hem.
She has stretch marks on her upper arm area – I guess that’s to be expected. Her face looks great – I’m not sure whether it’s gaining a few pounds or getting some fillers, but it looks good. Her boobs look weird though, like implants? She had boobs before, but I wonder if she had a lift or something post-weight loss?
I lost 119 pound on WW and calorie counting – no surgery, not lipo – it is possible. http://littlefatme.blogspot.com/2011/11/did-you-say-before-and-after.html
I think she hasn’t actually gained it back, she’s just not “properly posed” and ‘shopped to hell and back like she is in the WW ads.
Finally, I lust for those shoes!
Congrats LFM! You look gorgeous!
Great job! You look awesome!
Congrats you look awesome. It’s a big difference but it suits you. Plus judging from the pictures, that sunny attitude was always there =)
About Jhud: she looks great. I complain about my looks and I was never as big as Jhud so to think she lost all that weight with sheer will, determination and a healthy lifestyle is super!
Wow! Great job. You should change your moniker to littleskinnyme or skinnyminime 🙂
Holy cow. Well, congratulations to you!
Congratulations! That’s amazing! I’m trying to get healthy and lose weight at the moment, and I found your blog really inspirational.
terrible dress;makes her look pregnant apart from looking like it’s a hooker uniform. Really wow skin and legs though.
She has definitely done something to her face.
I hate to be mean but she needs botox or something to get rid of those lines around her mouth area than she would look so good and do some wieght training. Tone up
yeah, that sounds pretty nit-picky
Oh, Troll!
I think she’s put on a few pounds and should keep it!
ITA about the dress and shoes-I have a couple pair of Loubs and the fit is very difficult-and very tough to stand it for more than an hour, even without the huge platforms.
This is closer to a beautiful weight for her. More natural looking and feminine. Unfortunately it may not last long. Not saying this is her and hoping it’s not, but some women who experience this kind of rapid and congratulated weight loss become addicts who develop eating disorders.
:o(
That was supposed to be a frown, by the way. ??
The material of the dress is unforgiving, as is the length of her dress. She does look much better though, with the added weight.
Such a beautiful face. She does look better with a bit of weight on her.
I think she looks fantastic. Much better. Meh on the dress and shoes but not the worst I’ve seen.
sorry k, gotta disagree with you on waity making jenny packham popular cause a lot of people have been wearing jenny packham way before waity. and most of the time that the duchess has worn jenny packham, someone else has worn the dress before. for example, the pink dress she wore was similar to the one leighton meester wore on gossip girl and the silver draped dress is the same dress angelina wore to the tree of life premiere in la, only angelina wore the red version.
anyways, i think jennifer hudson looks great. and although, i’m generally a fan of jenny packham, i’m not digging the dress. but it’s not the worst thing jennifer hudson can wear.
I don’t like the legs. The lack of tone and definition is off for someone who supposedly lost all of her weight through diet and exercise.
Agreed her face looks better when its a little fuller.
I don’t know about that. I frequently train to run 5 and 10 ks and my legs never change or look super toned. I think you have to lift weights to get really defined legs. Some exercises like bike riding and running don’t do the same thing but they burn lots of calories.
She looks great!
Actually Angelina’s Jenny Packham dress was slightly different. Kate had her dress custom made for her according to various blogs.
She’s pretty but the dress is too short and tacky. Doesn’t have the legs to pull it off.
I don’t care what anyone says..I think she had a gastric bypass. She looked like a deflated tire after her weight loss which is the hallmark of that type of weight loss. She has clearly had a lot of surgery, the boobs, her face is now sculpted. But, in the 2nd picture, you can see the stretch marks on her upper arms and her upper thighs still have some lose skin and aren’t really toned in the two bottom pictures. Stop pulling a Star Jones already.
I TOTALLY AGREE! I had Gastric Bypass 11 years ago. The weight loss was RAPID (120 lbs in 5 months – the rest lost steadily, but still quickly). I needed a LOT of surgery to put things back to the way they were.
I TOTALLY agree about the Star Jones comment. It would be nice if the celebs would let us see their commonalities with us. Their faults. We are all the same. It would be great to just hear someone tell the truth!
I agree Jhud looks good here!
Bad dress. You can tell from the way she is posing that she feels fat in it. She isnt but the dress is very cheap looking & does nothing for her, the color or style.
She looks awesome!
Style tips!http://www.youtube.com/user/StyleTipsGalore?feature=mhee
She’s so pretty. I think she looks great. Is she going to be in any movies soon?
Uh oh, she’s getting fat again.
She’s no longer the spoke person for Jenny Craig, so maybe she’s not watching her calorie intake as much. I betcha she had to carefully watch everything she ate to stay within her contract with JC. She still looks good tho.
She looks better than usual, in spite of wearing yet another wonky dress. The thing is, she seems to have reduced herself to permanent “spokesmodel” status. I wish she would sing or act or DO anything other than pose. Again.
i don’t think it’s mean if, 1. it’s true, and 2. say it nicely, anyway she should learn how to dress for her body type, but she looks good.
Why does she have so many pictures of her waving? It looks annoying and she also has that weird mouth hanging open pose which doesn’t look good at all.
Not gonna yell at you Kais, I so agree. Hate the dress though – or I should say I hate the material which looks tacky as hell.
She’s OVEREXPOSED media wise. I am so sick of her I could puke…I turn the t.v. off when she appears on a commercial.
Judy, you said it! Did not mind her a few years ago but every time I walk away from the remote control she is belting out some warbling song. And now she is doing something for the Nat’l Cancer Society.
Totally had enough.
OMG, someone has to tell that poor girl she has stretch marks everywhere, the skin on her thighs is hanging, it’s all hanging out, this is so bad…
Painful to watch.
You guys are hard as hell to please.
She looks awesome. Metallic dress is a pretty color on her, don’t agree with her stylist that the drapey look around the hips was a good call. Also, she could’ve used longer hair extensions and some earrings.
Love that she’s found success in the midst of such an awful family tragedy. Please don’t pick on her, give her LOVE!!
You know what Kaiser…I am not going to yell at you! In fact, I wish to shower you with love because you are the only person that writes anything remotely true these days.
She was starting to look so thin before, it was not flattering. My fav JHUD is the one that burst on the scene a few years ago, not this I’ve-Gone-Totally-Hollywood version before us.
That dress is awful!! Can you please write a post about obnoxiously “flattering” dresses…I mean the ones that are so asset-focused they look more like geometric illusions than clothing, a la kate winslet and now this tacky creation on JHUD. All these dresses do is squish boobs together and then do something really weird to the stomach. And then these cracked out stylists pair them with stripper heels. I loathe them. Why is it not ok to just look like a normal woman with a normal shape and normal-length legs? FTW.
I am just one of those people who get disgusted by the look of loose skin. If you are going to lose some weight, then take your time and tone at the same time.
She looks amazing! You say she gained weight? Maybe. Whatever she’s doing, I don’t know what it is, but she should keep doing it because she looks hot! And happy. Before she looked too thin in her face and body and she also looked miserable and unpolished. I thought she and her handlers had ruined her career by having her lose all that weight. But now she finally looks fab!
Love her, she’s beautiful. Not really digging the “my little sister styled my hair with her favorite leopard-print Chi” hair..
She looks fantastic…hair, dress, shoes, makeup, face, legs you name it. And the wee bit of weight she’s gained is what makes her face look smoother I’d argue, not Botox…she looks amazing
