When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People: Jennifer Hudson

This morning Jennifer Hudson performed on the Today Show wearing the ultimate Fashion Faux Pas! She looked like a blast from the past that we'd all like to forget. J-Hud wore a red ruffled sleeveless, top and charcoal pleated jeans that were far from flattering. This has got to be the worst case of camel-toe-itis I've seen thus far. It makes you wonder if she had a date planned with Joe the Camel afterwards. I call this her "throw back" look --- throw it back it the closet that is. She had her security in place but where were the fashion police --- why wasn't she red carded?

Due to her size, its very important that Jennifer chooses the right garments that will compliment her figure - which her stylist and fashion team failed to do in this case. I can't believe they let her walk out looking like this - aren't her pre-American Idol days over?!? The only fabulous thing she has on are her shoes. The jeans made her butt appear as flat as a pancake, her over-sized top added emphasis to her big bust line, and her accessories gave her wardrobe a lackluster lift. Accessories are supposed to compliment to your look and not fill a void. With this getup, she's one faux pas away from looking like a train wreck. For someone as fabulous as Jennifer - this is not a good look for the Dream Girl at all. The sad part about this is that Jenny seems as though she's actually feeling this look. SMH. Shame - shame.

I can't bare to see her like this anymore.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give give J-Hud a 5 ... most of that is due to the phenominal performance she gave this morning.

Celebrity Makeovers: Susan Boyle

Overnight singing sensation Susan Boyle is taking the world by storm. She shocked the world with her unbelievable performance on “Britian’s Got Talent”; silencing the snickers from both judges and audience members. Now the 47 year old Boyle is silencing those who’ve been making fun of appearance with this remarkable makeover. Susan has rid herself of the frizzy hair and bushy eye brows and replaced it with a new do, wardrobe upgrade that’ll bring on a new attitude.

"She looks 10 years younger," said Toni Jones, assistant fashion editor at The Sun tabloid newspaper, which featured the new look Boyle on its cover Friday.
"Compared to what she had, it's a 200 percent improvement. But our readers think this is as far as she should go. We want her to stay one of us."

Some are afraid that her new look will jeopardize her authenticity but I’d continue to root for her: it doesn’t come any realer than Susan, who admits to never being kissed. After getting a load of her now, you’ll be certain to double back in admiration. I’m excited for her and proud that she had the courage to reach for her dreams regardless of what others thought of her. I usually don’t get excited over many things but her story definitely touched me. She’s another example of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Let this be a lesson that beauty is only skin deep; confidence in self is what really matters!
