Kate Hudson (47) Owns the Red Carpet in a Plunging Black Dress at the TIME100 Gala
Kate Hudson made a strong appearance in New York City this week as she attended the 2026 TIME100 Gala, an event that celebrates some of the world’s most influential figures.
The Oscar-nominated actress arrived at Frederick P. Rose Hall on April 23 and quickly became one of the standout names on the red carpet.
Her outfit was a black structured gown from Khaite’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. The design focused on sharp lines and a sculpted shape, mixing a classic evening style with a more modern, fashion-forward edge. The neckline dipped low, while the sleeves were wide and flowing, giving the dress a strong sense of movement.

She added more drama to the look with long black leather gloves that extended past her elbows. Gold jewelry completed the outfit, including a bold cuff worn over the gloves, adding contrast between metal and texture.
Her styling stayed clean and simple. She wore her hair in a smooth updo with a side part, keeping the focus on her face and the outfit. Her makeup was kept soft and natural, matching the overall balance of the look.
Hudson’s appearance came during a busy stretch in her career. She is currently part of the Netflix series Running Point, created by Mindy Kaling. In the show, she plays Isla Gordon, a woman running a professional basketball team. The series also features actors like Justin Theroux, Drew Tarver, and Brenda Song, and has gained attention for its humor and cast chemistry.
She has also been receiving attention for her role in the drama Song Sung Blue, which brought her awards recognition, including a Best Actress nomination at the 98th Academy Awards.
Alongside acting, Hudson continues to work on her business projects and recently spoke at the TIME100 Summit about her approach to discipline and the influence of her mother, Goldie Hawn.
She remains active across film, television, and business, keeping a steady presence in Hollywood.
