Jennifer Hudson Reflects On Embarrassing Oscars Afterparty

Jennifer Hudson reflects on a rather “surreal” experience from her Oscar-winning night in 2007. At the Academy Awards, she earned the Best Supporting Actress accolade for her role as Effie White in the 2006 film “Dreamgirls.” This should have been an exhilarating moment for the talented singer and daytime talk show host, but it was marred by an unexpected detail.During her appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” on October 13, Hudson candidly shared that her gown was branded worst dressed at the after-parties. After winning, Hudson recalled seeing “Jennifer Hudson Worst Dressed” written on cocktail tables, which left her incredulous. Wearing a brown Oscar de la Renta gown paired with a controversial gold metallic bolero, she admitted the style choice was not to her liking. Yet, Hudson now appreciates the humorous lesson it provided about trusting her instincts and embracing her individuality, illustrating that confidence prevails even amid scrutiny.
