Jennifer Hudson Wears Thom Browne to Sing U.S. Anthem at World Cup Final

Her all-white Thom Browne look with luxury accessories turned a pre-game moment into a showcase for American designers on the global stage.

Overview

  • Jennifer Hudson sang the Star-Spangled Banner on Sunday before the FIFA World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium, performing ahead of Spain’s 1-0 win over Argentina.
  • She wore a custom all-white Thom Browne two-piece featuring a form-fitting blazer and a red‑white‑blue ribbon corset, a look styled by Law Roach to emphasize patriotic cues.
  • Hudson accessorized with Tiffany & Co. pieces reported as Bird on a Rock earrings and brooch plus Lovebirds rings, which fashion coverage cites as high-carat diamond items.
  • Her shoes were Alaïa Le Cœur white slingbacks with a heart cutout, clear-panel upper and a 90 mm heel, a style the designer retails at about $1,500.
  • Organizers framed the moment as part of a larger entertainment program curated by Chris Martin that included major pop acts, and President Donald Trump and the First Lady were reported to have watched from their private box though a lip-reader’s quoted remarks carry limited sourcing.
