It’s an exciting day – and month – for Jennifer Hudson.

The EGOT winner is busy preparing for her stage comeback this weekend as she prepares to perform for the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special, airing Sunday at 8pm EST on CBS.

Next to talk show host Mariah Carey Green Day, Stray Kids, Kane Brown, Raye, Gladys Knight, Brad Paisley And Chaka Khan were also announced as performers.

Before her exciting performance, for which she will honor the only one Whitney Houstonwho won 22 AMAs in her lifetime, Jennifer took to Instagram to share a first look at her fabulous look for the special evening.

For the big moment, she opted for a black latex dress with sheer sleeves and a rhinestone collar and accentuated the elegant look by styling her hair in a slicked-back ponytail and topped it off with a smokey eye look and diamond earrings.

“Don’t miss my appearance THIS Sunday on 8ET | 5PT on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus. “I will be honoring The Voice myself Ms. @whitneyhouston,” Jennifer wrote in her caption, and fans were quick to read the comments section below the post and rave about it.

“Omg, a very similar outfit to Whitney’s 1994 AMAs performance! I can’t wait to see it,” one remarked, while others followed his example and said, “Kill us all! We can hardly wait!” and: “You look incredibly beautiful” and: “It’s going to be good!”
