Remember when Jennifer Hudson was an unknown cruise singer in Chicago who decided to try her luck in Hollywood by joining “American Idol?” A dozen years ago, Jennifer’s life changed all because of one judge who decided to give her a second chance: Randy Jackson.
Jennifer reunited with the man who was partly responsible for her huge break at the Revlon “Love Is On” philanthropic luncheon at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

Jennifer looked sophisticated in a pair of Christian Louboutin “Uptown” pumps
The singer wore a bodycon turtleneck ribbed dress that featured a sexy racer front cut — showing off her hard-earned curves — paired with the Christian Louboutin “Uptown” pumps in nude.
Jennifer finished her look with some silver jewelry and the Christian Louboutin “Loubiposh” studded glitter clutch.
