En Vogue: 35 Years of Music, ‘Hold On,’ Future Biopic and Fashion
En Vogue, the trailblazing R&B powerhouse, graced The Jennifer Hudson Show on May 15, 2025, marking their first appearance on the daytime stage to celebrate a dazzling 35 years in the music industry.

The lineup—Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones (who recently rejoined after a 13-year hiatus), and Rhona Bennett—brought their signature blend of soul, sass, and sisterhood to the studio, proving that their harmonies are as tight as ever.

The group shared the origin story of their name: originally drawn from a pot of potential names, they settled on "Vogue," only to later modify it to "En Vogue" due to existing trademarks. They credited their producers for the final name choice. They also reminisced about their early days, their inspirations—including The Supremes and Patti LaBelle—and the evolution of their sound over the decades.

In a show-stopping moment, En Vogue performed an acoustic rendition of their hit "Hold On," revealing that the song almost didn't happen. Their performance was met with enthusiastic applause, and their synchronized strut down the show's iconic Spirit Tunnel had fans cheering for more.

Looking ahead, En Vogue announced their upcoming European tour, set to kick off on June 18 in Antwerp, Belgium, with stops in Denmark, England, The Netherlands, Morocco, and Ireland. Fans can expect the same fierce fashion and flawless vocals that have defined the group's legacy.
