Kate Hudson arrived at the 98th Academy Awards with a very special guest by her side — her mother, Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn — and together they instantly became one of the most talked-about duos on the red carpet.
The ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the 46-year-old actress was nominated for her performance in the biographical musical drama Melody of Their Dreams. Hudson attended the event with her family as they gathered to support her during one of the biggest nights of the year.
But once the cameras turned toward them, many viewers found themselves looking just as much at Goldie Hawn.
The 80-year-old star arrived in a daring black gown designed by Maria Lopez. The floor-length dress featured a plunging V neckline, shimmering silver accents and elegant gloves that completed the dramatic look. Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and the fitted silhouette highlighted her figure in a way that immediately drew attention.
In fact, some observers felt that Hawn’s bold outfit became one of the most memorable fashion moments of the evening.
Standing beside her, Hudson embraced classic Hollywood glamour with a modern twist. She wore a metallic-toned gown with an open neckline and a sharply defined waist, creating a sleek silhouette that reflected the elegance of the event.
Her hair was styled in soft waves inspired by Old Hollywood, and she finished the look with jewelry from Garatti.
Also present at the ceremony was Kurt Russell, Hawn’s longtime partner, who joined the family to support Hudson on her big night.
Hudson’s nomination came from her role in Melody of Their Dreams, a film based on a real story in which she stars alongside Hugh Jackman. In the musical drama, Hudson performs the songs herself, bringing a personal dimension to the character. The film’s title also echoes Neil Diamond’s famous song Song Sung Blue.
But on the Oscars red carpet, it was the powerful presence of mother and daughter together that truly captured attention — a reminder that Hollywood glamour sometimes runs in the family.
