Just hours after picking up the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress , curvy diva Jennifer Hudson slammed the man who got her on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

The testy diva ripped by fashion gossips for pairing a metallic python print bolero with a chocolate brown Oscar de la Renta gown says her only regret for the night was wearing the dress.

According to Page Six, Vogue's Editor-at-Large, Andre Leon Talley was behind Jennifer Hudson's Oscar outfit. Fashion gossips claim Andre Leon Talley - who has been dressing Jennifer Hudson this awards season - was instrumental in securing the March 2007 Vogue Cover for Hudson.

An insider told the gossip column, "Jennifer was kind of sponsored by Talley and Vogue." The source continued, "Andre insisted she wear that hideous Oscar de la Renta dress with the awful, awful gold python bolero. Jennifer really didn't want to, and so [celebrity stylist] Jessica Paster got her a beautiful gold Roberto Cavalli custom-made. But when Andre found out, he went ballistic. Moments before she left for the show, there was a power struggle and Jennifer ended up putting his outfit on."

With the Vogue Cover, the Oscar and just about every major award, Hudson can afford to burn bridges , but what a way to say thanks.

The Dreamgirls star appears on the cover of the magazine's annual Power Issue, mouth open, fierce weave and tons of cleavage spilling all over the cover.

Hudson was shot for the publication by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz at Harlem's Apollo Theater in New York.

"Why did they pick that photo as the cover? That was messed up! Not one of these pictures are flattering. WTF was Annie Leibovitz smoking that day?"

A poster on popular Fashion Community thefashionspot.com writes

"It is terrible. It's worse than I expected. What is she doing with her mouth? And why isn't she looking at the camera? I think shes posed like that so that her collarbones stick out, which gives the illusion that shes 'thin'."

Jennifer Hudson is the first African-American singer to appear on the cover of US fashion magazine Vogue and the third African-American celebrity to grace the cover of the fashion bible.
