DUBAI:Grammy-winning artist Jennifer Hudson this week posed wearing a gold creation by Beirut-based Saudi fashion house Ashi Studio.
The US singer and actress, 39, championed a voluminous ruffled gown from the founder Mohammed Ashi’s Spring/Summer 2020 couture collection.
Hudson wore the ensemble for a photoshoot for Ebony Magazine’s September digital cover.
The Arab designer’s garments have been worn by countless A-listers in the past, including Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Demi Lovato, Fergie and Ava DuVernay.
This is not the first time the star has stepped out wearing an Arab designer.
During the 2020 B.E.T Awards, Hudson looked glamorous in an emerald green gown from Lebanese fashion designer Reem Acra. With its contrasting velvet and mesh texture and a colorful gem-encrusted high neckline, the kaftan-style dress won’t soon be forgotten.
Fans might also remember the form-fitting black gown with crystal-embellished mesh overlay from the designer’s Fall 2019 collection, which Hudson wore to the world premiere for “Cats” in New York’s Lincoln Center in December.
