Having lost more than 80lbs on her Weight Watchers diet, you can hardly blame the svelte Jennifer Hudson for wanting to model the stunning results of her new look.
And today, the 30-year-old actress and singer showed off her long, slim legs in a bright orange mini-dress, ensuring all eyes were on her as she signed copies of her new memoir in Los Angeles.
The Oscar winner was promoting I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down at Barnes & Noble book store at The Grove shopping mall.

Electric blue nail varnish, purple and gold oversized earrings and wedge heels completed the look.
She seemed happy and relaxed today, blowing kisses to photographers and smiling broadly as she met fans and signed copies of her tome.
Jennifer traces her 80-pound weight-loss journey in the book and also speaks out about her views on her shape and her career.
On Sunday night, she told Dateline that she was digitally slimmed down for her self-titled album cover in 2008, before she lost 80 pounds and become a Weight Watches spokesperson.

'It’s like "Where’s the rest of me?" They Photoshopped me probably to the size I am now on that cover, when we all know I was nowhere near that.
'To me, it did not send out a good message. And it did not represent me well. Did I not just prove that talent is enough if I made it this far? Being who I am, being the size that I am?'
Jennifer told the Today Show she did not have a problem with her weight until she was thrust into the spotlight in 2004 with American Idol.

'I didn't define myself that way, it was a shocking moment for me.'
But the actress wanted to be a healthy role model for her two-year-old son, David Jr, with fiancé David Otunga.
'Being pregnant, you're invaded, you're sharing your body and so you lose that control. That experience let me know that, wow, this is my body and I can do what I want to do with it and it can be whatever I want it to be.'

She said she loved the fact she could control her body and weight.
'I do not like being boxed in, I do not believe in limits, and I know that nobody knows your potential better than you. So I don't really listen to the things that weigh you down. Or the things that discourage you, or consider negative. To me, it's all positive.'

At a New York book signing, she stepped out in a slinky black long sleeved number with red shoes, while at a party thrown by Good Housekeeping magazine, she looked stunning in mustard coloured Roland Mouret.
And she topped off the stunning dress with nude heels and orange lipstick.
She was also spotted in Manhattan wearing an unusual ensemble consisting of a pair of black jodhpurs and a white jacket which boasted one long tail detail on the right hand side.
