Get Her Prom Look
Get fruity in tangerine like Jennifer Hudson
Tangerine is a ‘hot tropic’ this summer and is perfect for standing out from the crowd at prom. Who knew being tangoed could be so fashionable? Jennifer Hudson undoubtedly turned heads in this vibrant halter neck dress by Versace at this year’s Oscar Awards. It may be a little low-cut, but we love the exaggerated ruffles to the side and the colour looks fabulous against her dark skin. Orange is a surprisingly popular prom dress choice and there are dozens of juicy dress designs to chose from by specialist manufacturers. We think this gown from the Satin Rose collection by Alyce is particularly gorgeous as the ruched detail and a-line cut are extremely flattering.
Jennifer gets her make-up just right with a highlighting eye shadow that illuminates her eyes without clashing with her outfit. Try a pale golden shade over eye lids, working up towards the brow bone. Pat a small amount into the inner corners for a wide eyed look. Next work a darker golden brown into the sockets starting at the outer corners followed by a blended line of dark brown shadow or pencil along the lash line to make eyes really stand out. This Accessorize Illusion palette in Gamble has 5 blendable shades in one - perfect for recreating this look. It even comes with a mini eyelid primer to give your shadow extra staying power. Rich, warm shades of lip colour look beautiful on dark skin and the coral tones of this lipstick by GOSH in ‘Exotic’ really compliment the dress.
When it comes to accessories, Jennifer goes for a few ornate statement pieces that add detail to the bold block colour of her dress. Check out this chic pair of antique gold earrings from Glitzysecrets.com. Perfect for adding a little sparkle to an already head turning outfit. Your old classmates won’t be forgetting you in a hurry!
