The Budget Fashionista

Apparently Jennifer Hudson (or her stylist) is a budget fashionista after our own hearts when she chose to wear an American Apparel dress ($36) (see it/buy it here: http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa8348.html ) on her new album cover. We’re happy she decided to forgo high-end designer duds, but don’t get too warm and fuzzy—the belt she added is apparently $475.

We’re also wondering about the pic, however—she looks absolutely fab as always, but she looks a little, er, different too. Take a look here: http://offtherack.people.com/2008/07/21/jennifer-hudsons-36-album-cover-dress/. What do you think?

Saw the picture. Honestly, the outfit would probably look so much better if they hadn’t airbrushed her. Jennifer Hudson is beautiful as she is. Then again, I’m a perfectly healthy, trim, toned size 8, and they’d probably airbrush me too. Scary.
