# Old-School Diva Editorials Jennifer Hudson Stars in the Edit November 2013's Diva Issue By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2013-12-03 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-edit-november-2013 References: [thecitizensoffashion](http://thecitizensoffashion.com/2013/11/29/jennifer-hudson-for-the-edit-november-2013/) & [ohnotheydidnt.livejournal](http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/83770195.html) Jennifer Hudson graces the cover and pages of The Edit November 2013 issue, otherwise known as 'The Diva Issue.' Hudson is a perfect choice to encapsulate the term, which connotes a high sense of confidence, attitude and dynamism. And if we're to believe Beyonce -- and honestly, why wouldn't we? -- "a Diva is a female version of a hustler." Hudson's inspiring story and fighting spirit certainly qualify her as both a Diva and a Hustler. The star doesn't come from a privileged background; instead, her ascent to fame began with American Idol, continued with her 2007 Oscar for Dream Girls and is still strong today. Hudson is a lady with a set of powerful pipes, elegant style and personal resilience. Her old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persol), glamorous spread was styled by Tracy Taylor, who put the star in [glittery flap dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-party-edit) and decollete-baring gowns. The editorial was shot by photographer Francesco Carrozzini. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Old-school Diva Fashion:** Opportunity to create vintage-inspired fashion collections that exude confidence, attitude, and dynamism. - **Celebrity-driven Editorial Style:** Opportunity to feature influential celebrities in glamorous and aspirational fashion spreads to captivate audiences. - **Hustler Mindset in Entertainment:** Opportunity to celebrate stories of determination and resilience in the entertainment industry to inspire others. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and retailers can create and market old-school diva-inspired collections and accessories. - **Media and Publishing:** Magazines and online publications can focus on celebrity-driven editorial content to attract and engage readers. - **Entertainment:** Film, music, and television industries can highlight and promote stories of perseverance and success in the entertainment world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Effortless Urban Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025.md) - [Country Star-Collab Glamorous Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joleans.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Daily Style Accessible Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi-lovato-x-amazon.md) - [Holiday Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tommy-hilfigers-2025.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Holiday Gown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-jacqueline.md)
