    The45-year-old star also has two sons: Ryder, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson, and Bingham, whom she shares with her former fiancé, Matt Bellamy.

    Kate’s showstopping dress may have been too bold for some netizens, who expressed their disapproval of the revealing look.

    “Not loving the dress on Kate,” one critic said.

    “Not a flattering dress,” another said.

    A third added. “Kate is trying too way too hard…(Same w her singing, not a fan except when HORRIBLE in 10 Days, loved that).”

    “I think the dress is a bit much n that slit,” wrote a separate observer.

    Others said the look was missing an extra accessory, similar to the oneTaylor Swift wore at the Grammys. “Missed opportunity for a thigh chain for Kate.”

    Another group defended Kate against body-shamers who said she “looked pregnant” in the gown.

    “She’s always had a great figure. She doesn’t have to try hard,” one fan stated.

    “Wow, some of the comments from the women on this thread like Kate Hudson looks amazing. Truly beautiful and the dress is Bonkers good,” noted someone else.

    “I think this dress is stunning and ethereal. Every human has a stomach, not a bad thing,” an additional user wrote, while another pointed out, “She is 45 and has 3 kids! We should all be so lucky to look that good.”

    Mindy Kaling, who co-created the show and was present at the premiere on Thursday night (February 13), explained that Running Point will feature a strong female lead, similar to her previous projects Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

    “I really like ambitious women, underestimated women, women with secrets,” Mindy toldPeople

    “Those with big personalities. I’m not involved in a lot of things with demure female leads. That’s not my vibe, and it’s my taste in books, too.”

    At the premiere, Kate was asked about working withHugh Jackman on their upcoming musical drama film Song Sung Blue. “I’ve never worked with anyone meaner in my life,”she joked.

    “And [thanks to] all the neighbors — like Daddy and Uncle Michael — who stayed behind to put out spotfires,” she added. “A lot of brave people fighting to protect us and we’re so grateful. That’s our check-in. Love you guys.”

    The dress is stunning. She is stunning. She looks nothing other than stunning. I'd give my left arm just to look half as fabulous as this lady. Still better than the other garbage being trotted out on the red carpet.

    Trying too hard? She looks stunning. I'll tell you what isn't a good look: naked jealousy.
