Kate Hudson, 46, Wows Fans in Skin-Tight Dress Held up by Only One Knot
Kate Hudson made a striking appearance in Hollywood this Thursday, February 26, to celebrate a pivotal figure in her latest career triumph. The 46-year-old actress took the stage at the TCL Chinese Theatre to deliver a heartfelt tribute to John Davis, the prolific producer behind her current hit film, Song Sung Blue.
The ceremony, a storied tradition where industry titans immortalize their hand and footprints in cement, served as a celebratory backdrop for Hudson, who is currently riding the wave of her second career Oscar nomination.
Dressed in a sophisticated one-shoulder olive green gown that flowed to her ankles, Hudson relied on a pair of glasses to read her speech, which was filled with warmth and professional admiration. John, standing here at the TCL Chinese Theater for your hand and foot ceremony feels absolutely right, she told the crowd.
Because if there’s anyone whose fingerprints are all over this generation of filmmaking, it’s you. She emphasized that Davis’s enduring optimism and dedication have built stories that will resonate for generations to come.
The event comes at a high point for Hudson, whose performance as Claire Sardina in Song Sung Blue has earned her a Best Actress nomination, twenty-five years after her first nod for Almost Famous.
In the musical drama, she stars opposite Hugh Jackman as one half of a real-life husband-and-wife Neil Diamond cover band from 1990s Milwaukee. While the film has faced some vocal criticism from the real-life family members of the late Mike Sardina, Hudson has noted that Claire Sardina herself was so happy with the final portrayal.

Just days before the Hollywood ceremony, Hudson was also celebrated at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she received the Arlington Artist of the Year Award. Her longtime friend Gwyneth Paltrow presented the honor, describing Hudson as being like a little sister during an emotional introduction.
Paltrow reflected on their decades-long bond, noting that after seeing Hudson’s transformative performance in Song Sung Blue, she immediately called her in tears, moved by seeing her friend finally land a role that showcased her full range of brilliance.
Beyond the awards circuit, Hudson is keeping up a rigorous schedule with several high-profile projects. She is currently preparing for the April 23 premiere of the second season of her Netflix sports comedy Running Point, where she stars as Isla Gordon, the president of a fictional Los Angeles basketball team.
The new season is set to expand the cast with veterans like Ray Romano joining the lineup. Additionally, she recently released her debut studio album, Glorious, and has hinted that she plans to balance her acting commitments with more live musical performances later this year.
