Jennifer Hudson Perfectly Copies Prince's Style at 2016 BET Awards in White Hooded Dress

We knew that Jennifer Hudson’s musical tribute to Prince at the 2016 BET Awards would be epic. The woman can sang! And she certainly did that — and well — as she belted out a moving rendition of “Purple Rain” on Sunday night. 

What we didn’t expect was for JHud’s outfir to be a spot on homage to Prince’s iconic style. The 34-year-old singer hit the stage in a white hooded tux jacket (worn as a short dress), which looked exactly like the ivory hooded suit that Prince wore at the 31st Annual People’s Choice Awards in 2005.

Here’s a look. She nailed it, right?
