Oscars 2008: J-Hud's Second Try/You Decide

Feb 25 | by Natasha

Photogs: Granitz/Mazur/Reuters

Still not really feeling it, but indeed much better than last year's Academy Awards Andre Leon Talley foolishness. She was dripping in Neil Lane diamonds too-Chandelier Earrings, Diamond and Platinum Cuff and Stacked Diamond Bangles, Diamond and Platinum Ball Ring, and Diamond and Platinum Flower Hair Pins. The Roberto Cavalli grecian style halter dress with black and white diamonds is beautiful but it aint what's poppin' for her. Is her circulation still going despite the upper part of that dress? Whatev. Jennifer Hudson's Oscar de la Renta look last year vs. this year's look:

She won't be on any best dress lists but she also won't be on the worst dress lists! She looks a lot better because last year was a mess. I like it!

i prefer this year's look,

i prefer this year's look, although the dress is ill-fitting. her back is too fat for a halter and she could've used a tad more material in the breast area. her hair and makeup is beautiful though.

publicity seeking maybe? but

publicity seeking maybe? but one thing is good, the fact that she doesn't feel the need to show her boobs at every opportunity. thats good. the bottom half of her dress is lovely, not feeling the snake skin pattern cut outs and the shape of the top half.

Okay, so I love J hud but i

Okay, so I love J hud but i was not 100% feeling her in the dress. the front of it was fab, but she had back fat and rolls hanging over. I am pudgy like her and I would not wear that when you can see stuff hangin over. Perhaps more material in the back and a few less accessories would have done it.

Natasha I agree with

Natasha I agree with you! - This dress looks like any basic dress that you would wear to a barbecue or a picnic during the warmer months. Yes, it is much better looking than the Talley and de la Renta fiasco last year, 2007, but that's not stating much. - The fabrics for both of Jennifer's dresses, last year and this year look cheap. Like some crappy modal material!

I like last year's dress better MINUS the space jacket better than this year. I like this year's dress, but overall she doesn't look as FAB as she did last year. It could be her hair though...I don't know....somehing just...isn't....right about this year's look.

[quote comment="41004"]She is a curvy girl and she needs to dress for her body. I love the color on her BUT she has side fat with those slits ( no invisible spanxx for that). This dress is beautiful but not great for her body.[/quote] I agree. I LOVE the dress and the color, but I think she could have done a little better. Something more flattering that shows less back fat.

I think she stepped up her game. The empire waist works, the color works, hair and makeup works and she looks confident and comfortable. With a full figure, less is more-elegant,sophisticated and polished. Go Jen. LA Talley must have been barred from helping this year. LOL!

She is too heavy for that

She is too heavy for that dress. Funny how everyone hates on Kiesha Whittaker but when jennifer's big butt roll out the fabric over her rolls and untoned arms she gets praise. thats not fair. she will never look as glamourous as she could until she gets her body right.It okay to not be thin but you cant wear an arm emphasizing dress and have a rolly back and fat arms with strch marks. She must have an eat too much disorder.

[quote comment="41059"]STOP HATING ALL YOU FUCKING BEYANKI FANS GET A FUCKING LIFE WITH THAT BEING SAID J-HUD LOOKS GREAT SHE LOSTS ALOT OF WEIGHT TOO LOVE HER AND ALBUM WILL BE A BANGER[/quote] ...Ummm... wow... There's room for all Black women to shine. And nobody said anything about Beyonce. And some say people swear because they don't have a real vocabulary. Just a thought. Anyhow, I agree with the general consensus that her boobs look funny, the kissy pose is tired (only VS models can really get away with that) and she doesn't really have the back for that dress, but she doesn't look bad. B+.
