Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn was the guest of honour at the annual Make-A-Wish Gala in Los Angeles on Friday evening, where she shared a heartwarming moment with her son, actor Oliver Hudson.
A Night of Celebration and Philanthropy
The lavish event, held at the Fairmont Century Plaza, saw the 80-year-old actress receive the prestigious Power of a Wish Award. Ahead of the ceremony, Hawn and her 49-year-old son posed affectionately for photographers on the red carpet, hugging and laughing together. The mother-and-son duo were clearly in high spirits, leading the constellation of stars in attendance for the charitable cause.
Star-Studded Style on the Red Carpet
Goldie Hawn looked every inch the screen icon in an elegant black dress adorned with gold beading. She accessorised with a matching chic shawl, classy black shoes, and a sparkling gold clutch bag. Oliver Hudson kept his look smart and classic in a black suit and white shirt.
Other notable guests included Oliver's wife, actress Erinn Bartlett, who wore a striking green gown. Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie commanded attention in a draped midi black dress and strappy heels, while former Olympic figure skater Tara Lipinski opted for a playful multi-print mini dress.
Honouring a Legacy of Hope
During the gala, Goldie Hawn took to the stage to deliver a speech and accept her award. She was also photographed alongside Make-A-Wish CEO & President Aparna Pander, Sally Hopkins Conner, and actor Anthony Anderson. Following her acceptance, a beaming Hawn posed with her son, who proudly held his mother's new accolade.
The annual Make-A-Wish Gala is a key fundraiser for the charity, which grants life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The presence of such high-profile supporters helps raise vital funds and awareness for its mission.
