Much ado about Hudson’s ugly Oscar gown

LONDON:

An editor of the US fashion magazine Vogue has been blamed for the much-criticised dress that best supporting actress winner Jennifer Hudson wore on Oscar night. Hudson, who won the best supporting actress award for Dreamgirls, wore a brown Oscar De La Renta gown and added a gold bolero jacket for the red carpet walk. She was widely criticised for the outfit, reports pagesix.com. A source says, “Hudson was kind of sponsored by Talley and Vogue. (Fashion designer) Andre insisted she wear that hideous Oscar De La Renta dress with the awful, gold python bolero. Hudson really didn’t want to, and so (celebrity stylist) Jessica Paster got her a beautiful gold Roberto Cavalli (gown) custom-made. But when

Andre found out, he went ballistic. Moments before she left for the show, there was a power struggle and Hudson ended up putting his outfit on.”
