Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Oscars 2008: J-Hud’s Second Try/You Decide

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

     

    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:

      I like the new look. dress fits nicely and the detail is beautiful.

      HOWEVER, i wish she’d stop with that kiss pose.

      This year’s dress is far better than last year’s but still not fabulous enough for this event.

      I like the dress on Jennifer, she pulled it off. Take some heart to show a fleshy back. I must agree the umpire waistline is a little snug

      When you are top heavy - you have to choose a dress works with your figure. In one pic, JH’s breasts look awkward.

      why do you say that?? can’t an African American woman be lovey in white ? we are just as beautiful and pure as any other woman !!!! right? african american woman are always never credited for bein successful, so just give J. Hud her props .. she looks lovely in the WHITE dress and thats that

      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!

      Just saw Jhud walking off stage after presenting a award. The dress is flowing and cute but not on her. I don’t like the top of it. To have cleavage is a good thing. She should have had a v neck cut dress.

      The boobage is causing a problem…. The dress looks nice, but when you have boobs like she does, you NEED to wear a bra… Maybe if the straps were wider it would have made some difference.

      I think everything looks really good except for her chest. She could have found some way to provide more support for “the girls” there… as long as J-Hud remembers that everything that looks good on skinny girls doesn’t work on us thinker chicks, then she will be fine.

      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.

      I actually like last year’s dress better, which means she’s still not on point. It’s crazy because she’s so fabulous on other red carpets, just wack at the Oscars. Someone (her stylist) is trying too hard.

      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!

      this is a much better look from last years hateful dress (brown jersey at the oscars? with pockets?? ew..)
      i love that j.hud celebrates all her curves and bumps (some of which can be seen when she drops into that kissy-pose: not cute. hit a gym) but when the breastasis are that big, you don’t wear that kind of cut up top..(kinda looks like a boa constrictor got caught in the fabric and her bust and lost) but that’s why i’m home in sweats and holey socks, killin the oscar game from the living room..
      and since i didn’t offically say it, she looks nice, but put the girls in a holder more suitable..

      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.

      White compliments her complexion. The dress was lovely, her makeup flawless; however, the top of the dress simply did not flatter her figure. Made her breasts look awkward. Definitely an upgrade from that mess last year. And, I agree, that kiss pose is tired.

      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.

      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.

      …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+.

      Ok…not to be the critic…but..r..a.! Jennifer looks 55 years old in that to small number. Why does her stylist INSIST on dressing her in halters, sleevEless, and gowns that require you not wear a bra? HELLO…she is a full figured female!!!!!! FirSt of all Jennifer ALWAYS NEEDS SUPPORT in the chest area. Her back has rolls..please cover that up! Goodness, stop the bullshit, you know you see it! Stop making all these excuses for Jennifer. Just last week, you all tore Beyonce to pieces….and her dress fit her! I just keep it real. Everyone is always saying oh, J-Hud looks good, etc….etc….Still no CD, the kiss blowing on the red carpet…STOP THE BULLSHIT! THAT FOOLYWANG IS A HOTT ASS MESS!
      STOP THE SELECTIVE CRITISISM, IF THIS HAD BEEN BEYONCE OR MARY THIS SITE WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM!I’M JUST SAYIN’!

      ummmm… sad that so many of us are shocked to see how radiant a black female can look in white… are that few of us getting married that we have no recollection of a black woman is a white dress? yikes… and speaking of, i heart j.hud as much as the next, but the backless dress has got to go cuz the thick roll of backfat is not whats happenin’. Hold it down 4 the thicka-than-a-snickas, but do it properly j. hud.

      This is definetly an upgrade from what she wore last year, and I always love how black woman look in white. It just makes there skin glow, however, I am still unclear as to how this dress looks from the back. From the front she looks absolutely gorgeous, but from the back she may look like “like dat” from FOL2, I know yall rememba that episode with the back out dress that had her lookn like some stuff sausages. But u still rockd it Jen!!

      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.

      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.
