Kate Hudson made an appearance at the 2025 Gotham Awards, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. For the occasion, the actress selected a flowing white silk gown designed by Ralph Lauren.
Choosing to wear the dress without a bra, Hudson allowed the lightweight fabric to fall naturally, creating an effortless, unforced look. Long a familiar presence on red carpets, she once again proved that simplicity can be just as striking as excess.
The gown featured a high neckline fastened with a dramatic oversized bow, its extended ties cascading down her bare back. The smooth silk caught the light with a soft glow, enhancing the clean lines of the design. The straight-cut skirt extended into a refined, subtle train, nearly concealing her white satin platform heels with ankle straps.
Her accessories were minimalist yet impactful. Hudson selected long, beaded earrings that grazed her shoulders, along with delicate diamond studs that provided a subtle shimmer without detracting from the elegance of the dress.
The beauty look echoed the same understated sophistication. Her skin appeared fresh and luminous, paired with softly defined brows and voluminous lashes. A hint of pearlescent eyeshadow brightened her eyes, while a glossy pink lip added a youthful touch.
Her hairstyle, crafted by Marcus Francis, drew inspiration from the popular wet-hair aesthetic. The top was gently slicked back, transitioning into smooth, glossy lengths shaped into a polished blowout.
During the event, Hudson was seen sharing a relaxed and friendly moment with her Song Sung Blue co-star, Hugh Jackman. Dressed in a classic black suit and tie, Jackman complemented the formal tone of the evening. Their upcoming film, set to premiere on December 25, follows two struggling performers who create a Neil Diamond tribute act and find both purpose and romance in the process.
Hudson has recently embraced more daring, figure-hugging styles, and only a few weeks earlier in Berlin, she turned heads in a sheer, striking electric-blue gown.
