| Jennifer Hudson Covergirl For Historic ‘Vogue’ Issue |
On an uplifting note, Jennifer Hudson is set to make Vogue history by becoming the first black singer to ever appear on the magazine’s cover.
Meanwhile, the 25 year old Hudson will become only the third black woman to ever grace the cover of the highly esteemed fashion magazine. She follows in the footsteps of talk show mega-star Oprah Winfrey and Academy Award winning actress, Halle Berry.
The Chicago-born Hudson, who plays Effie White in the box-office hit, Dreamgirls, alongside Beyonce, was photographed by Annie Leibovitz in New York City’s Harlem theatre. E! commented that, “the photos by Annie Leibovitz capture exactly what is happening right now to Ms. Hudson. She is singing, smiling and, in one shot, appears to be taking it all in as she leans on a piano on the stage of the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem.”
“I think she will become an icon based on her talent, the way Barbra Streisand became for her breakout role in 1969 when she got her Oscar for Funny Girl,” Vogue’s editor-at-large stated in an interview.
This certain editor-at-large happens to be styling Jennifer for the Oscars. The Dreamgirls breakout performance y Hudson is the favorite to bring home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. “Her spirit is as gold as a golden sun on a beautiful day,” he says. “I hope her outfit will reflect that.”
According to E!, however, that’s as far as he’ll go in suggesting what type of outfit to expect. Like any good stylist, he said, “I cannot reveal what it is.” In a past Gossip Girls story, it was noted that a source from the NY Daily News said that “Beyoncé’s handlers did not want Hudson’s name on the guest list for a party she threw with People magazine at Eleven in West Hollywood.”
Could Beyonce be a little jealous over this prestigious honor being bestowed upon her co-star? Let us know what you think. |
