Jennifer Hudson Wore Dolce & Gabbana Performing During The Live at the Apollo Concert

Following the premiere of Aretha Franklin‘s long-awaited big screen biopic, ‘Respect,’ back in August, its leading star Jennifer Hudson continued to promote the film with a concert held at the historic Apollo theater sponsored by American Airlines and Mastercard, where she belted out classics such as ‘Amazing Grace,’ ‘Think,’ ‘Ain’t No Way.’

To close the show she performed ‘Nessun dorma’ which saw her wearing a custom-made Dolce & Gabbana sequinned gown.

Naturally I fell head over heels in love with this dress on sight, but that love grew the second I realised that the piece had an ombre gold to blue effect.

With Oscar buzz already surrounding this film (which I can’t wait to see when it releases on Friday September 10 in the UK), I have my fingers and toes crossed that we are granted another awards season run from Jennifer, as 2007 was a long time ago, and her Oscar de la Renta gown with the gold bolero is iconic for all the wrong reasons.

Wayman and Micah totally transformed Regina King into a bona fide style star, I’m confident they will do the same for Jennifer’s next awards season campaign.
