Jennifer Hudson Wears Neil Lane to the Oscars
February 26, 2008

Jennifer Hudson, Academy Award Winner, darling of the film and music industries and my heart, definitely got the white dress right this time around ...

The detailing around the bust and neckline of Hudson's dress are great. Very playful and young; suiting I would say.

Jennifer Hudson is wearing Neil Lane diamond chandelier earrings, a diamond and platinum cuff, stacked diamond bangles, and a hair pin (of which, sorry, I just couldn't find a photo), totalling $2 million in diamonds.

Now, this could just be the influence of having seen so many other Oscar photos speaking but, I know that Roskin will agree when I say, I am over chandelier earrings ... for now ... talk to me next week, I may change my mind.

I think the choice of bangles are great, chunky statements that pick up on the detailing I mentioned earlier, but I would've opted for either one ring on one hand and not on the other or the same for the bracelets. 

I don't know why but the symmetry in this instance is bothering me, probably because the dress is so streamlined and simple, but overall I think Hudson looks wonderful. 

I mean with that face and smile it really is hard to look at anything else.

Oh, I just couldn't help myself, so ...

I like the dress but I have to disagree that it is a good choice for Jennifer. It overemphasizes her bust and its just not very flattering.

You know, Reuben, many people have expressed to me the same sentiment about JHud's bust being a bit too focal with this dress and, in hindsight, I agree.

I think that I was a but too enamored with the detailing / glad to see her in a better white dress than the one she wore to the OUT 100 Awards on first look.

Good eye! Thanks for reading and for sharing your view.

The top of the dress reminds me of the kind of uni-boob I get when wearing a sports bra. I am a big girl just like Miss Jennifer, so I feel for her, but I would never be seen at such a big event with the girls looking like I was going to the gym.

YES! I agree with Busty, that IS sports bra boob.
