Jennifer Hudson's Shoe Evolution Over the Years [Photos]

One thing is crystal clear when it comes to Jennifer Hudson 's shoe style — she likes to have fun with it. On and off the red carpet, Hudson has consistently showcased a love of flamboyant footwear. Since skyrocketing to fame as a fan-favorite on the third season of "American Idol" in 2004, the singer and Academy Award-winning actress has never been one to shy away from making a shoe statement. She's been known to gravitate towards attention-grabbing colors, embellishments and massive platforms.

The multihyphenate favors premium luxury brands like Aquazzura, Christian Louboutin, Saint Laurent and Le Silla. Whether she's hitting a premiere or awards show or simply pounding the pavement, you can expect Hudson to turn up in shoes that call for a second glance.
