Kate Hudson is giving the peekaboo bra trend a bedazzled update ahead of the 2026 Oscars. At a pre-Oscars party on March 14, the Song Sung Blue actress—who is up for the Best Actress category for her turn as Neil Diamond cover band singer Claire Sardina—looked every inch the leading lady in a plunging optical illusion sequin gown featuring an exposed bra and nature-inspired artistic design.

Just hours before Sunday’s big award show, Hudson celebrated with other Oscar hopefuls at MPTF’s Night Before party at the Fox Studio Lot on March 14. Posing with Javier Bardem, Michael B. Jordan, and Chase Infiniti at the star-studded fête, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress turned heads in a liquid sequin champagne dress featuring a built-in plunging blush pink silk bra that peeped out from the top of her sculptural corset bodice.

In contrast to the gown’s sparkling neutral backdrop, black rhinestones depicting a tranquil mountain forest scene crawled up Hudson’s sides to her chest, around her hips, and down to her knees. At the bottom of Hudson’s statuesque column dress, the same artistic landscape was embroidered onto semi-sheer black material, giving the floor-grazing hemline a diaphanous effect and showing off a glimpse of her towering stilettos. 

Hudson complemented her gown’s multi-watt sparkle with some eye-catching bling. She pulled her blonde hair back into a sleek middle-parted updo with face-framing tendrils tucked behind her ears, showing off a pair of large dangling diamond earrings. Hudson kept the iridescent theme going for her beauty look, accentuating her features with a frosty white eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and a soft rose flush on her cheeks and lips.

Hudson has been booked and busy ahead of the Oscars—and serving up a parade of gorgeous red carpet looks. Case in point: Just hours before stepping out in a slinky chocolate brown silk dress at the WIF Oscars Nominees Celebration, the Almost Famous actress turned heads in a whimsical strapless silver dress with exaggerated peplum hips at the ICG Publicists Awards on Friday night. Hudson’s silver Georges Chakra gown, which featured a black strip at the top of her bodice, was crafted from a foil-like material that, upon closer inspection, was revealed to be covered in intricate floral designs.
