LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 08: Jennifer Hudson attends the premiere of MGM’s “Respect” at Regency Village Theatre on August 08, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the lead up to the release of Aretha Franklin’s biopic,\u00a0Respect, <\/em>Jennifer Hudson<\/a> told Oprah Winfrey<\/a> she was fitted with 82 costumes for the film by designer Clint Ramos. “I think they ended up using 50…It was a huge part of the storytelling in who she was,” the actress later added. She can now add costume number 83 to the list after she stepped out onto the premiere red carpet overnight in an ode to the late soul artist.<\/p>\n

Descending into Los Angeles, Hudson dazzled in a custom purple, sequin-clad gown by Dolce & Gabbana. The strapless dress featured a daring thigh-high leg split and sweeping train. The ensemble was finished with a chiffon veil in the same rich hue.<\/p>\n

It was a spectacular display we haven’t seen since the pandemic began and fitting for the queen of soul. Franklin rose to prominence in the ’60s so if only judging by the trailer<\/a> we can expect spectacular sequin gowns, feathers and extravagant silhouettes.<\/p>\n
