Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Jennifer Hudson's various looks in the spotlight increased her love for fashion. In 2012, she partnered with QVC and launched the Jennifer Hudson Collection, which featured fashionable yet affordable clothing. "It was inspired by my fans," Hudson said on Good Morning America. "You know, they would see me in red carpet looks, and you're like, 'My gosh, I wish I could wear that, but I can't afford it.'"

It was also important for her to create a clothing line that was flattering for every figure. "I look at each piece and think, 'Could I wear that as big Jennifer or could I wear that now?'" JHud told Redbook. "I want to consider every girl."

Growing up, Hudson always knew she wanted to be a singer, but she never imagined that she would one day become a fashion designer and have her own clothing to sell. "I have my own line, and I can't believe it," she continued. "I didn't see it coming, but it's here." We can't wait to see which business endeavor this busy entertainer will take on next!
