Jennifer Hudson is a woman of many parts, with a voice that fills rooms, a charisma that attracts attention, and a unique modest style, radiating power and grace with every look. Whether on stage, at a show, or on the red carpet, her fashion style embodies sophistication and confidence.
Recently, in one of her episodes on the renowned Jennifer Hudson Show, she wore OlarsGrace pieces — a brand celebrated for its timeless and elegant staples designed for bold, confident women.
But what made this moment truly special wasn’t just Jennifer Hudson, the multi-talented, Tony Award-winning celebrity, looking radiant in OlarsGrace. It was the guest of the day — Gina Torres, best known for her role as Jessica Pearson in Suits. This was more than a fashion moment; It was a surreal, full-circle moment that brought her journey as a designer back to where it all began. This article would be incomplete without a back story as why this was truly an iconic moment for Ola Folami and her brand, OlarsGrace.
Shortly after the episode aired on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Ola Folami took to social media (watch it here) to share the backstory of how Suits — specifically Gina Torres’ portrayal of Jessica Pearson — became the driving inspiration behind her brand. During her years in the corporate world, Ola admired how Jessica Pearson’s power dressing exuded elegance, confidence, and a commanding presence Jessica Pearson’s wardrobe was more than just clothing — it was a statement of power especially in a male-dominated space.
Inspired by that very essence, Ola launched Olarsgrace, with the goal of helping women command every room they walked into. In her words, “I wanted to dress women to look like this and command respect in any room they walk into.”
And then, the full-circle moment happened. The first time Jennifer Hudson wore Olarsgrace on national television, it was to interview the very woman who had inspired the brand’s creation. A moment of destiny woven through style and vision.
Since that episode, Jennifer Hudson has continued to wear Olarsgrace, styling various pieces while interviewing icons on her show. But these designs go beyond workwear — they are statements of power and grace, crafted with expert precision and meticulous attention to detail.
What makes OlarsGrace’s designs worthy of critical acclaim is the way they stand out for their impeccable tailoring, flawless finishing, and daring use of color, making every piece a showstopper.
Some of the Olarsgrace designs worn by Jennifer Hudson include the CB Detailed Blazer, The Shabir Mustard Set, The Black Lexi Top, and the Sirian Sequin Shirt — all of which embody Olarsgrace’s mission to blend timeless elegance with contemporary power.
What started as admiration has now turned into a defining fashion moment. OlarsGrace isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement, proving that when style and confidence align, the possibilities are limitless.
