As the old going says, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
After slipping into an orange wrap-around mini-dress the day before, yesterday Jennifer Hudson once again showed off her slim pins in a short hot pink number.
Pouting for the cameras, the 30-year-old actress and singer was at Weight Watchers in Culver City to sign copies of her new book 'I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down.'
Fittingly, the Dreamgirls star was eager to show off the more than 80lbs of weight loss she shed on the diet company's famous program.
She paired the snakeskin printed dress with some towering beige platform shoes and a gold belt cinched around her tiny waist.
Her flirty look was not dissimilar to the day before, when she donned a bright orange mini-dress to once again sign copies of her new memoir at a bookstore in West Hollywood.
And while Jennifer is clearly confident in her new skin, she recently said she was still getting comfortable dressing her new svelte figure.
'Because it’s a new body, I’m trying to find out, how do I want to be perceived?' she told Stylelist. 'Who is this new me? I knew how to be the big girl, but now I have to find out how to be this girl.'
She said she had newfound interest in fashion now that she had lost weight and loves to dress up.
'I just love fashion now,' she said. 'It’s so much more flexible, and there are so many more options out there now. I feel like my own little Barbie doll — I get to dress myself up.'
And even though she seems to be always spotted in towering heels, she admitted that she never used to wear them.
'I hated heels before, but that’s all I wear now,' she said.
In her new book, Jennifer traces her 80-pound weight-loss journey and also speaks out about her views on her shape and her career.
Last Sunday, she told Dateline that she was digitally slimmed down for her self-titled album cover in 2008, before she lost 80 pounds and become a Weight Watches spokesperson.
'It’s like "Where’s the rest of me?" They Photoshopped me probably to the size I am now on that cover, when we all know I was nowhere near that.
'To me, it did not send out a good message. And it did not represent me well. Did I not just prove that talent is enough if I made it this far? Being who I am, being the size that I am?'
Jennifer told the Today Show she did not have a problem with her weight until she was thrust into the spotlight in 2004 with American Idol.
She even said she had actually lost weight by the time she appeared in the show.
'I didn't define myself that way, it was a shocking moment for me.'
But the actress wanted to be a healthy role model for her two-year-old son, David Jr, with fiancé David Otunga.
Being pregnant, you're invaded, you're sharing your body and so you lose that control. That experience let me know that, wow, this is my body and I can do what I want to do with it and it can be whatever I want it to be.'
She said she loved the fact she could control her body and weight.
'I do not like being boxed in, I do not believe in limits, and I know that nobody knows your potential better than you. So I don't really listen to the things that weigh you down. Or the things that discourage you, or consider negative. To me, it's all positive.'
