Jennifer Hudson famously shed over 80 pounds since becoming a Weight Watchers spokesperson in 2010.
And she was rocking her fabulous figure for the annual TV spectacle, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest - at Sunset Gower Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old singer performed on stage in a dark gray metallic dress that ended about a third of the way down her thigh and showed off a trim waistline and an abundant amount of cleavage.

She paired it with fishnet stockings and a thick chain necklace.
The American Idol finalist appeared svelte and sleek with her short, slicked back hairdo.
Jennifer wore a Barbara Bui dress and Saint Laurent heels.
Wearing heels is a recent development for the star, as she described to the Huffington Post in March.
'Normally, I would take my shoes off on the red carpet because my feet hurt so bad,' she said.
'And it was the weight. But now that’s all I’m wearing. It used to be flats, now it’s all heels. So, that’s a drastic change.'

Well she could sure move in those heels on Tuesday night.
Jennifer grooved onstage, belting out her song, I Can't Describe, with a fierce and passionate stage presence.
The Dreamgirls star tweeted before the show aired: 'Almost time! After 9pm don’t miss me performing 'I Can’t Describe' on Dick Clark’s @OfficialNYRE with @RyanSeacrest on ABC! #NYE #RockinEve.'
In the Los Angeles segment of the show, Jennifer performed alongside the likes of Capital Cities, Chris Daughtry, Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy, Florida Georgia Line, Ariana Grande, Enrique Iglesias, Robin Thicke, and the Fray.
With an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Grammy and over a million album sales under her belt, her success still strikes her as quite surreal.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Net-a-porter's digital magazine, The Edit, the Chicago native said: 'I didn’t know what the Oscars was…where we come from, we don’t know anything about that world. If you see it on TV, it’s like, "Oh, people in fancy suits and ties.”
'It is so bizarre to me to say, "OK, let me go email Beyoncé, let me go talk to Oprah..."
'For so long I sat and admired them; now I’m among them.'
Dubbed 'phenomenally talented' by close friend Alicia Keys, the Grammy Award winner compares her success to losing weight.
'It’s one thing to lose it, but it’s another to keep it off,' she said. 'Well, it’s one thing to make it, but it’s another thing to stay. [That is] why you have to constantly do stuff to keep people’s attention. It’s a hustle, it really is.'

In the works: Jennifer's third studio album is expected to hit stores in 2014
Her third studio album is expected to hit stores in 2014.
As she told Rolling Stone in October: 'I do know that I want to Jennifer-ize this album, meaning I want you to get a sense of who I am as a person, not just as a celebrity, or a brand, or a public figure. That’s what I want this music to reflect.'
Jennifer can be seen in Black Nativity, which was released in U.S. theaters on November 27.
In the film, Jennifer plays Naima, a mother who gets thrown out of her apartment and is forced to send her teenage son to live with estranged relatives.
The Los Angeles portion of the show was hosted by Fergie, with Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy hosting in New York.
