The Dreamgirls star showcased her cleavage in a white top with a plunging neckline as she made her way down the red carpet.
She sported a brown suit with short-sleeves on top and placed silver netting across the shoulders.
Silver, open-toe heels added a few extra inches to her 5ft 9in frame and her medium-length caramel-colored tresses fell straight to her shoulders.
The silver theme carried to her accessories as she donned large hoop earrings and a variety of matching bracelets.
Before hitting the stage, Hudson found herself seated next to two of the night's biggest stars, Taylor Swift and Halsey.
