\n\tJennifer Hudson<\/a> turned up the volume in blue velvet at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year gala honoring Mariah Carey<\/a> in Los Angeles on Friday night, wearing a Kilian Kerner spring 2025 gown with an exaggerated textured coat.<\/p>\n

\n\tHudson\u2019s dress came in deep blue velvet cut as a long-sleeved column dress that featured a close turtleneck, fitted bodice and straight skirt. An allover crystal embellishment added a dense, uniform sparkle across the surface, while a high slit on one side opened the skirt to the mid-thigh.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the gown, Hudson wore a maximal coat in a tonal mix of blues. The piece featured a high-pile, brushed texture arranged in short, layered strokes that ran across the surface in shifting shades from pale blue to navy. Oversized sleeves and a wide body created strong volume through the shoulders and sides, while an extended train trailed behind her.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlack pumps with a matte finish punctuated the look. Hudson added a soft gold manicure and small drop earrings, while blue-toned eye makeup and a neutral lip matched the palette of the dress.<\/p>\n

\n\tHudson\u2019s appearance added another entry to a month of velvet-heavy red carpets. At the beginning of the year, Queen Mary of Denmark<\/a> wore a deep blue velvet Jesper H\u00f8vring jacket and skirt set for a New Year\u2019s Court event at Christiansborg Palace. Earlier this week, Elizabeth Debicki<\/a> opted for a long-sleeved black velvet jumpsuit with matching velvet loafers during Armani\u2019s haute couture presentations in Paris, and Margot Robbie<\/a> wore a custom Schiaparelli gown that combined velvet tiers with satin for the Los Angeles premiere of \u201cWuthering Heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMusiCares honored Carey as its 2026 Person of the Year during the annual fundraising gala, held two days before the Grammy Awards. The night featured performances from artists including Hudson, who sang \u201cI Don\u2019t Wanna Cry\u201d and \u201cVision of Love,\u201d alongside sets from Foo Fighters, Billy Porter, Teddy Swims, Adam Lambert, Charlie Puth, Kesha, Maggie Rogers and others in tribute to Carey\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
