Plus: Jennifer Hudson's Glittering Style

Jennifer Hudson is engaged to David Otunga, her reality star beau from the show, I Love New York 2. As Jennifer Hudson’s engagement puts her in the media limelight today, we thought it an appropriate time to highlight that she is also a ravishing style icon.

Most notably, she knows how to rock today’s hottest trends—like gold—on her curvaceous bod. The photo gallery shows some of Jennifer Hudson’s best fashions, including her golden gown at the recent Toronto International Film Festival and a stunning gold coat I wish I could get my hands on!

The Dream Girls actress, first black model to appear on Vogue magazine and 2004 American Idol finalist is quite a catch, but her resume is only expanding. Apart from recording for the Sex and the City soundtrack, she’ll be debuting a solo album, Jennifer Hudson, on September 30, and will make it back to the big screen on October 17 in The Secret Life of Bees.

From the gallery, it’s clear Jennifer Hudson loves to shine… it makes you wonder, will she get married in gold too?
