According to V, “When Jennifer found out she was going to be interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris, she knew this look was the one. We tried it on again in a fitting and fell in love all over again.”
JHud and her stylist considered every single detail of her look for the April 20 episode, including the jewelry she would be wearing to interview the Vice President.
“While dressing Jennifer for this important moment, I went to give her a simple yet elegant necklace,” said V. “But Jennifer said that her necklaces should say something special today since this was such a huge occasion.”
Jennifer chose three separate necklaces with three different words inscribed on them.
“She landed on ‘Love’ — to show how we should all be kind and love one another. ‘Doll’ — to pay homage to her mother, who called her this as a child and would be so extremely proud of her for this accomplishment of interviewing the VP on her very own TV show. And lastly ‘Happy Place’ — which we all know as ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show.’”
