Hollywood Stars Reunite After Three Decades
In a delightful blast from the past, Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts posed together at the prestigious Max Mara x Women in Film event held on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles. The glamorous reunion comes a remarkable 33 years after the two blonde actresses, now 46 and 57 respectively, shared the screen in the 2003 romantic comedy Le Divorce.
Fashion and Festivities at Chateau Marmont
The star-studded cocktail party, hosted at the iconic Chateau Marmont, was a showcase of style and camaraderie. Kate Hudson, famed for her role in How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days, commanded attention in a sophisticated black two-piece ensemble. She flaunted her toned midsection with a crop top paired with a flowing maxi skirt, completing the look with open-toe black heels that revealed a dark vampy pedicure.
Meanwhile, Naomi Watts turned heads in an elegantly structured, shrunken off-white blazer with sleeves cropped just above her wrists. Inside the glitzy venue, the former co-stars were captured flashing megawatt smiles and embracing warmly, a touching moment for fans of their earlier work.
Social Media Shares and Special Honours
Kate Hudson, who is the daughter of Goldie Hawn, shared a carousel of images from the event with her nearly 19 million Instagram followers, captioning it, 'A night out with @maxmara.' The photos included a snapshot with actress Leslie Mann, 53, whose daughter was a central figure of the evening's celebrations.
Naomi Watts also posted multiple pictures, beginning with one of her and Hudson both wearing matching sunglasses. She playfully captioned it, 'Sunglasses at night. Thanks @maxmara and @marcolin_eyewear for a great evening!'
The event served to honour emerging talent, with Maude Apatow, 27, receiving Max Mara's Face of the Future award. The honour recognises her multifaceted work as an actress, writer, and director. Maude, best known for her role in HBO's Euphoria, has recently embraced her industry connections with her directorial debut, Poetic License, a film that features several fellow 'nepo babies'.
In a recent interview with W magazine, Maude reflected on her opportunity, stating, 'I'm so lucky I had the opportunity to direct... There are so few female directors. I want to spend my life trying to figure out how to uplift other women.' The ceremony also recognised other luminaries including Jamie Lee Curtis, Tessa Thompson, and Judy Blume.
