As Kate Hudson kicked off awards season alongside co-star Hugh Jackman, her latest accomplishment was unexpectedly overshadowed by her risqué red carpet look.

The duo attended the 2025 Gotham Awards in New York City on Monday, December 1, where both were honored with the Gotham Musical Tribute for their performances in Song Sung Blue.

Highlights
  • Kate Hudson’s Gotham Awards red carpet look sparked backlash as fans fixated on a visible detail in her satin dress.
  • Social media was flooded with mixed reactions, with some calling the look “trashy,” while others praised her bold choice.
  • Kate and her co-star Hugh Jackman also opened up about their working dynamic, praising each other’s talents while promoting their upcoming film.

But instead of celebrating the 46-year-old actress’s win, fans flooded social media with comments urging her to wear undergarments after noticing a particular detail in her dress.

    Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman star as Milwaukee couple Mike and Claire Sardina, who rose to local fame in the 1980s with their Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning & Thunder.

    The film, set for a global release on Christmas 2025, is already drawing industry praise, with many calling it one of the standout musical dramas of the upcoming awards season.

    At the Gotham Awards red carpet, Hudson and Jackman posed together, with The Greatest Showman actor opting for a well-tailored black suit paired with a white shirt and black tie.

    Hudson, meanwhile, wore a satin white halterneck slip dress featuring a plunging back, a fitted bodice, and a flowy A-line floor-length skirt.

    While the dress itself wasn’t overtly revealing, the figure-hugging silhouette and delicate fabric, combined with the actress not wearing an undergarment underneath, made certain details of her chest visible on camera.

    One netizen had a more brutal take on her dress choice, writing, “The ni**les, really? So trashy and unnecessary. I can’t stand Hollywood anymore. Why do these beautiful woman [sic] think they need to degrade themselves?”

    However, some were supportive of the star’s fashion choice, even praising her no-b*a moment.

    One supporter wrote, “I couldn’t stop staring at her ni**les…. omg! Kate. Not sure if she was wearing a b*a but wow!”

    While on the red carpet, the two actors also opened up to People magazine about the biggest thing they learned from working together on the film.

    “All I can concentrate on is ni**les,” reacted one user to Kate’s red carpet look at the awards night

    As Jackman paused to think, the Bride Wars star jumped in, saying, “I know, can I go first?”

    She continued, “Hugh, his superpower is to connect. Whether it’s on stage, whether it’s on set, whether it’s with anyone and everyone, he just wants to connect and he wants to make sure that everyone’s happy.”

    “I learned that one of the great gifts you can give people is that you actually have a desire to connect to them. I think you give that to everybody, even though I’m sure it takes a lot from you.”

    Fan comment on Kate Hudson's dress detail sparking frenzy, praising the look but questioning the style choice.

    Meanwhile, Jackman praised Hudson’s “acting on film,” saying that “no one does it better than Kate Hudson.”

    “She’s the sweetest, nicest, kindest, always great. So when Kate Hudson says, ‘I think this is a mistake, I think we should go left and not right,’ everyone stops and listens.”

    The duo’s latest film appears to have wowed critics ahead of its release, with the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star already receiving Oscar buzz for her performance

    In a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, the host asked Kate how it felt to be recommended for the role in the upcoming film by Hugh.

    Holding a tiny mic, as Hudson began to respond, Hugh quipped from behind, “I am smart.”

    This broke Kate into laughter, and she then asked her co-star to hold the mic for her as she agreed with him, saying, “That he’s really smart. He’s super smart. I think he made the right choice… It also means, actually, that making an album might have been the best decision I ever made in my life.”

    Her last sentence referenced Song Sung Blue being a musical drama in which both actors sing several tracks in their own voices.

    And in May last year, Kate released her debut studio album, Glorious, which had already set her up with strong vocal credentials.
