Kate Hudson Shines in Prada at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards

Kate Hudson captivated the red carpet at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards in London on Sunday, February 22, wearing a striking red Prada gown. The actress, nominated for her role in “Song Sung Blue,” showcased a look styled by Sophie Lopez that blended classic elegance with modern flair.

A Red-Hot Prada Moment

Hudson’s ensemble featured an off-the-shoulder red satin gown from the Italian luxury fashion house. The dress boasted a fitted bodice with a cinched waist, accentuating her silhouette, and a flowing skirt with a subtle train. She completed the look with shimmering earrings and a statement necklace, adding to the gown’s overall glamour.

Glowing Glamour

Makeup artist Naoko Scintu created a radiant makeup look for Hudson, emphasizing her natural beauty. Scintu described the look as “skin glazed in a soft, sun-kissed luminosity, healthy and glowing, as though illuminated from within,” aiming for an understated yet striking elevation of her natural radiance.

Awards Season Style

Hudson’s BAFTA appearance continues a strong awards season wardrobe, following previous looks in Vera Wang and Stella McCartney. At the 2026 Golden Globe Awards in January, Lopez styled Hudson in a custom Giorgio Armani gown with silver detailing, inspired by a design from the label’s spring 2007 collection.

A Return to the BAFTAs

This year’s BAFTA nomination marks a significant moment for Hudson, coming 25 years after her first nomination in the same category for her iconic performance as Penny Lane in “Almost Famous.” She also received an Oscar nomination for her work in “Song Sung Blue.”

The 79th annual BAFTA Film Awards, hosted by Alan Cumming, honored the best in British and international film. “One Battle After Another” led the nominations with 14 nods, closely followed by “Sinners” with 13. The ceremony took place at the Southbank Centre in London, beginning at 7 p.m. GMT (2 p.m. ET).
