Jennifer Hudson compares her success to loosing weight: Shows off her svelte figure in mini dress and fishnets.

 
Dubbed 'phenomenally talented' by close friend Alicia Keys, the Grammy Award winner compares her success to losing weight.
'It’s one thing to lose it, but it’s another to keep it off,' she said. 'Well, it’s one thing to make it, but it’s another thing to stay. [That is] why you have to constantly do stuff to keep people’s attention. It’s a hustle, it really is.'

Jennifer Hudson famously shed over 80 pounds since becoming a Weight Watchers spokesperson in 2010.
Wearing heels is a recent development for the star, as she described to the Huffington Post in March.
'Normally, I would take my shoes off on the red carpet because my feet hurt so bad,' she said.
'And it was the weight. But now that’s all I’m wearing. It used to be flats, now it’s all heels. So, that’s a drastic change.'
And she was rocking her fabulous figure for the annual TV spectacle, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest - at Sunset Gower Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old singer performed on stage in a dark gray metallic dress that ended about a third of the way down her thigh and showed off a trim waistline and an abundant amount of cleavage.

She paired it with fishnet stockings and a thick chain necklace.
Jennifer wore a Barbara Bui dress and Saint Laurent heels.

Jennifer grooved onstage, belting out her song, I Can't Describe, with a fierce and passionate stage presence.

With an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Grammy and over a million album sales under her belt, her success still strikes her as quite surreal.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Net-a-porter's digital magazine, The Edit, the Chicago native said: 'I didn’t know what the Oscars was…where we come from, we don’t know anything about that world. If you see it on TV, it’s like, "Oh, people in fancy suits and ties.” 
'It is so bizarre to me to say, "OK, let me go email Beyoncé, let me go talk to Oprah..."
'For so long I sat and admired them; now I’m among them.'
