Jennifer Hudson Hits High Notes in Sparkling Pumps at Shaquille O’Neal’s Charity Event

Jennifer Hudson brought a classic but chic style to her most recent performance.

The EGOT winner hit the stage during Shaquille O’Neal’s foundation’s latest charity event. The soiree was held in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

For the evening, the singer slipped into a pair of pointed-toe pumps. Her beige shoes were covered in sparkly sequins. The shoes also featured a thin band around the ankles for extra support.

Hudson donned a classic gown with modern elements — similar to her shoes. She wore a deep emerald green floor-length gown with long sleeves and as well as a high neckline. The sleeves featured large feather attachments on the forearms. The satin dress was complete with a high slit up the left leg. Hudson added large hoop earrings as well as a few rings and a bracelet for the stage-ready look.

When it comes to footwear, Hudson favors statement-making strappy sandals and pointed-toe pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti, Sophia Webster and Jimmy Choo on the red carpet and at other formal events. However, she also wears footwear by emerging designers as well, like Titi Adesa. Earlier this year, she wore black sandals with a leather bow strap across the toe and included a circle rhinestone embellishment and a thin stiletto heel for her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

The third annual fundraising gala featured a private dinner and live auction followed by a star-studded public concert with performances from Hudson, John Legend, Dan + Shay and more. The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation creates opportunities for underserved youth.
