Jennifer not only moved the audience to tears, but she also stunned the crowd in a Monika Chiang black leather long-sleeved top, a Scott L’Wren button-lined white pencil skirt, and a pair of Saint Laurent ankle-strap pumps.

“Sandy hook elementary chorus singing America the beautiful and Alicia keys national anthem makes me proud to be American,” model Kate Upton said on Twitter.

20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012. His motive remains unclear.

We know that there are a number of you who aren’t a fan of ankle-strap pumps because they tend to cut height and length from the legs, but Jennifer Hudson’s Saint Laurent pair didn’t have that effect on her.

Perhaps it’s because she’s got tiny, tiny ankles in the first place and that skirt is giving her a majorly sexy hourglass figure?

The pumps themselves are also beautifully proportioned despite having thick ankle cuffs. Here’s a closeup for you to appreciate them better:
