Jennifer Hudson has been best friends with her childhood friend Walter Williams for decades, and their close bond is on full display on “The Jennifer Hudson Show”!

Walter often stops by the show to support his bestie, whether that means bravely walking through a haunted house, racing a Junior Olympian, or picking out JHud’s wardrobe.

Jennifer also loves to share hilarious stories involving Walter — like the time he fell asleep in the middle of a restaurant — but makes up for it in the best way possible. (Like getting Walter’s all-time fave singer Patti LaBelle to serenade him!)

Jennifer’s form-fitting little black dress with cutout sleeves on the March 14 episode was chosen by none other than her BFF!

“Walter Williams, Jennifer’s very best friend — whom I love to call ‘the original doll dresser’ (the doll meaning Jennifer) — saw this dress and immediately thought of her,” said Jennifer’s stylist, calling it “a perfect Jennifer Hudson look from the one that knows her best.”
