Kate Hudson turned heads once again with her impeccable sense of style at the recent Oscars festivities. At 46 years old, the actress first graced the 98th Academy Awards red carpet in a teal mosaic peplum gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, accessorized with an impressive $35 million worth of diamonds. She later switched to an even more striking ensemble for the Vanity Fair after-party, proving her ability to command attention throughout the night. Her after-party look embraced bold glamour with a shimmering black Gucci gown that featured a plunging neckline and a daring midriff cutout.
The gown’s design highlighted her impressively toned abs while flowing into a dramatic train that added elegance and movement. Hudson complemented the piece with diamond drop earrings and a standout 15-carat green diamond ring from Garatti, along with a matching bracelet boasting over 8 carats. Her makeup stayed fresh and radiant, featuring shimmery eyeshadow, a dewy complexion, and a soft pink lip that kept everything looking effortlessly polished. She wore her long blonde hair in a deep side part, tucked behind one ear for a sleek finish.
What made the evening extra special was having her 22-year-old son, Ryder Robinson, by her side at the after-party. Ryder looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo with a modern ivory ribbon tie instead of a traditional one. The mother-son duo shared sweet moments on the red carpet, where he noticeably towered over her as they posed together. Hudson also enjoyed a meaningful red carpet walk earlier with her mother, Goldie Hawn, who wore a semi-sheer black gown with silver lace details.

This Oscars night carried extra weight for Hudson, as she earned a Best Actress nomination for her role in the musical drama ‘Song Sung Blue.’ The nod came exactly 25 years after her first Academy Award nomination for her breakout performance as Penny Lane in ‘Almost Famous.’ Although Jessie Buckley took home the win for ‘Hamnet,’ Hudson’s portrayal of Claire Sardina in the Neil Diamond tribute band story has been hailed as a powerful career resurgence. The film, co-starring Hugh Jackman, has gained strong traction on streaming platforms like Peacock after its theatrical release.
Beyond the awards buzz, Hudson keeps a packed schedule with projects like the Netflix comedy series ‘Running Point,’ where she plays the head of a professional basketball team. She recently wrapped filming on the romantic drama ‘Hello & Paris’ alongside Javier Bardem. The actress has spoken openly about her strong work ethic this year, crediting her focus on what she loves for bringing her back to such high-profile moments. She continues hosting her podcast ‘Sibling Revelry’ while earning honors like the Motion Picture Showperson of the Year award.
