And I Am Telling You Jennifer Hudson stole the iHeartRadio Awards on Monday night as she rocked a sheer black corset backstage. 

The singer made an appearance at the annual awards show rocking a silver sequin bodycon dress with feather detailing before changing into a nude-lined bodysuit with sparkling embellishments and a leather trench coat for her performance on stage alongside Cher.

"Such a fun night celebrating music and reconnecting with old friends! Thank u @iheartradio!" she captioned the post which saw her posing with Meryl Streep, Jared Leto, Ice Spice and Lance Bass and AJ McLean.

The look was inspired by Cher's iconic 1986 look that she wore to the Oscars, revealed Jennifer's stylist Maeve Reilly. "Had the honor of recreating one of Cher's iconic looks for Jennifer Hudson. And a little birdie told me she loved it, and my entire life was made."
