Vogue-ing with Hudson

The Jennifer Hudson Vogue is here. Well, sorta.

Go to the mag's Website right now for a sneak peek. The photos by Annie Leibovitz capture exactly what is happening right now to Ms. Hudson. She is singing, smiling and, in one shot, appears to be taking it all in as she leans on a piano on the stage of the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem. 

"I think she will become an icon based on her talent, the way Barbra Streisand became for her breakout role in 1969 when she got her Oscar for Funny Girl," my pal André Leon Talley, Vogue's editor-at-large, says in a short interview accompanying the pics.

Talley is styling Hudson for the Academy Awards Feb. 25. The Dreamgirls breakout starlet is the favorite to bring home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. "Her spirit is as gold as a golden sun on a beautiful day," he says. "I hope her outfit will reflect that." 

However, that's as far as he'll go in hinting at what she'll wear. Like any good stylist, he says, "I cannot reveal what it is."
