Kate Hudson Celebrates BAFTA Nod with Stylish London Appearance
Hollywood star Kate Hudson made a sophisticated entrance at a special screening of her latest film, Song Sung Blue, held at the prestigious Charlotte Street Hotel in London on Friday evening. The event came just days after the actress received thrilling news: a nomination for the Leading Actress award at the 2026 BAFTA Awards.
Elegant Ensemble for a Celebratory Night
The 46-year-old actress, renowned for her role in Almost Famous, showcased impeccable style for the occasion. She opted for a smart grey plaid blazer paired with matching tailored trousers, creating a polished and modern look. Complementing this ensemble was a soft light blue shirt, adding a touch of subtle colour. Kate elevated her stature with a classic pair of sleek black heels and allowed her signature blonde hair to cascade freely over her shoulders. A delicate gold necklace provided the perfect finishing touch to her elegant outfit.
A Heartfelt Reaction to the BAFTA Honour
The screening followed the exciting announcement of the BAFTA nominations earlier in the week. Capturing her genuine elation, Kate Hudson took to Instagram to share a hilarious video of the moment she discovered the news. The clip shows the Bride Wars star seated in a restaurant, squealing with shock and repeatedly exclaiming 'Oh my God!' before leaping to her feet and rushing out to answer the pivotal phone call.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the post, she expressed profound gratitude to BAFTA. Hudson penned a moving tribute, stating the nomination felt like 'a love letter' to England, a country she and her family have always considered a 'real home'. She wrote: 'BAFTA! Thank you! I am so honoured to be nominated. England has always been a real home for me and my family so this nomination feels like a love letter back to a place that’s given us so much. See you soon London Town.'
Family Ties and a Formidable Category
Alongside her message of thanks, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star posted a series of nostalgic throwback photographs featuring her children exploring London. Kate is a mother to three: son Ryder, 21, from her previous marriage to Chris Robinson; son Bingham, 14, from her past engagement to Matt Bellamy; and daughter Rani, seven, with her current fiancé Danny Fujikawa.
This nomination marks Hudson's second BAFTA recognition, arriving twenty-five years after her first nod for her iconic performance as Penny Lane in Almost Famous. She now finds herself in a highly competitive category for the Leading Actress award. Her fellow nominees include frontrunner Jessie Buckley for her role in Hamnet, alongside Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Emma Stone, and Renate Reinsve.
This BAFTA success comes shortly after Kate Hudson also secured an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, where she will once again face off against several of the same talented contenders. The film One Battle After Another led the BAFTA nominations this year with an impressive 14 nods, including one for its lead star Leonardo DiCaprio, following its recent Oscar recognition.
Starring Role in Song Sung Blue
In the film celebrated at the London screening, Song Sung Blue, Kate Hudson stars opposite Hugh Jackman. They portray the real-life married couple Mike and Claire Sardina, who famously started a Neil Diamond cover band in Milwaukee during the 1990s. The screening served as both a promotion for the film and a personal celebration for Hudson's latest career achievement, blending professional triumph with a deep, personal connection to the city of London.
