Jennifer Hudson put her powerful lungs to good use in Los Angeles on Thursday night (December 9).
Joined by a choir of singers, the Grammy-winning singer performed during the Ambassadors for Humanity Gala to benefit the USC Shoah Foundation Institute at the Hollywood & Highland Grand Ballroom.
Thanks to a new focus on fitness, J.Hud is looking leaner and lovelier than ever — so it’s no surprise that she’s been voted by Fitness magazine as having the best celebrity body in the category Best Celeb Slim Down.
The Dreamgirls star, who scored top marks for dropping from a size 16 to a size 6, attributed her drastic transformation to the birth of her son, which inspired her to lose weight, and also to Weight Watchers.
Jennifer, who is the latest spokesperson for the program, explains: “It’s not a diet, it’s really a way of living that teaches you better skills. For years I felt like I could never have ice cream, but I can eat ice cream occasionally now!”
The magazine, which is “all about looking good and feeling better”, had other categories including for Best Body After Baby (Bethanny Frankel), Best Curves (Christina Hendricks), Best Dancer’s Body (Karina Smirnoff), Cutest Workout Pair (Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth) and Best Baby Bump (Melissa Rycroft).
