Jennifer Hudson Does VOGUE

Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Jennifer Hudson can add Vogue cover girl to her résumé! Wearing beautiful designer gowns, Jennifer is making history by being only the third African-American to grace the cover since 2002. The accompanying story by editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, who has been styling Jennifer Hudson this awards season, talks about her visits to Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta fitting rooms.

The piece also covers the 'American Idol' reject's emphasis on family. She says, "My grandmother always taught me, 'If you don't have a home, family, and church, you don't have anything.' The March issue arrives on newsstands February 20.

Famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the curvy songstress (here in Carolina Herrera) at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.
