Jennifer Hudson embraced the contrasting texture trend in a strapless latex gown at the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special red carpet on Sunday is Los Angeles. 

The EGOT winner wore a bespoke dress from La Roxx. Hudson layered the shiny, full-length gown over a sheer, long-sleeved top adorned with shimmering jewels around the collar. Her ensemble included tight latex opera gloves and a floor-sweeping train that attached to the shirt’s sleeves, give it a cape-like effect.
