Jennifer Hudson's Oscar Dress 'Didn't Have Enough Support' Says Stylist Elyse Walker

By Maggie Coughlan Posted Feb 28th 2011 04:00PM

As a renowned stylist and boutique owner, Elyse Walker shares her love for fashion with a large celebrity clientele. When it comes to stars who need a fresh new look, Walker is the first person they've got on speed dial.

Ask any fashion fanatic, the best part of any awards show is the red carpet arrivals, and last night's Academy Awards were no different. From daring decolletage to feathery frocks, star after star stepped onto the red carpet in looks worthing of winning awards all their own.

"I thought the fit of Jennifer Hudson's dress was very distracting. She's such a beautiful girl, but that dress didn't have enough support on top," Walker said of the singer and actress.

PopEater sat down with Walker to put her fashion knowledge to the test. See who Elyse Walker named best and worst dressed at the 2011 Academy Awards after the jump!

Best dressed: Halle Berry in Marchesa.

Worst dressed: Cate Blanchett in Givenchy.

Favorite red carpet look:
Right now, it's definitely Mila Kunis. I really didn't expect her to have so many major fashion moments, but she got it right at every single awards show this season. Her Elie Saab dress was absolutely stunning, and she wore a different color than everyone else. Her makeup and hair also worked with the softness and femininity of her dress.

Biggest style surprise:
Jennifer Lawrence, she was flawless last night, and it will be fun to watch her grow.

Most fashionable couple:
Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham. She definitely gets the award for best hair and makeup.

Jennifer Hudson looked BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to talk about someone whose chest didn't look exactly right in their dress, why is no one addressing Oprah's dress? That thing she was wearing made her bustline look absolutely ENORMOUS! With all her money, she ought to be able to find a designer capable of flattering her figure better than that.

I don't care who Walker is or what she does, no one looked better than Jennifer Hudson, no I am not related. Sandy Bullock was 2nd and Portman 3rd.

Im ALL for Jennifer Hudson losing weight. But the stretch marks on her arms were GROSS! That reminded me of a zebra and the orange mixed with that gave me a jungle state of mind. The best of the night was Natalie Portman and shes PREGNANT. She looks AMAZING! I like Jennifer Hudson I just HOPE that she sticks to Music and not movies. Not a good actress.

I loved Jennifer's dress and her new figure and bright smile on Oscar night. She has emerged a very impressive woman and so talented. She was my American Idol pick for singing. She just had to grow up a little. Her "Dreamgirls" performance was just perfect and so strong and beautiful. Stunning, Jennifer!! Thanks!!

By Tamra

By Eugenia

I thought Jennifer Hudson looked ravishingly spectacular! Perhaps there are some green-eyed demons bringing up the rear! Enjoy yourself, Jennifer. You looked maahvelous!!!!!!!

By Cal4RCE

How sad nobody gave Jennifer some guidance before she went out there and made a fool out of herself. Her dress really needed some support. She looked deflated and discolored. She should have shown a little less.

By amber

she looked good

By Davidd

Hope you get the sight back in both eyes. She was stunning! She loooked drop dead gorgous in that dress. Go Jennifer!

By sotiredofthis

If you saw her on Oprah, you would have seen that her boobs have "deflated" with the weight loss. If she is true to Hollywood form, right/wrong/indifferent, she will have them "pumped up" as Star Jones did when she lost weight.

I think you are all self hating jerks....This is a misogynistic society. You all are use to those over inflated half basketball boobs,that when you see a real woman with real curves & natural breast you hate on her ...You fake over injected deformed breasted plastic woman.....her natural beauty makes you all look like critical jerks ....Really!!!!!

By Sue

Perhaps we just have 20/20 vision and good taste.

By opinionlady

Beautiful girl. But, she did need support in that dress, or perhaps a different bust line in that dress. Colour was great, she looked amazing. Sweet personality. Great smile. So, she needed more support. Jennifer we love you which is why we are telling you!!

By Sammie

Absolute best dressed, Mandy Moore.

By ronnie

Jennifer def looked amazing but the dress did fall short on
top her breasts looked awkward

By justthe truth

I thought she looked beautiful. But, it looks to me like she has had breast implants. Too round and hard looking to be real, particularly after such a fantastic weight loss.
