Published on May 29, 2014. Updated April 4, 2017Kate Hudson rose to fame over a decade ago when she caught everyone’s attention in the movie “Almost Famous” as groupie Penny Lane. She seemed to have it all – acting abilities, beauty and an impeccable sense of style. Since her early days on the red carpet, Hudson’s style has definitely evolved. She has gone from free-spirited and boho-chic to classy and sophisticated – see for yourself!
Golden Globe Awards – 2003
Kate Hudson looked every bit the free spirit in this multi-print Valentino gown at the 2003 Golden Globe Awards. The gown suits the Oscar-nominated actress perfectly with its vibrant colors, retro pattern and free-flowing cut. Hudson seems to have been aware that dress was a perfect fit for her. She told People magazine, “It suits my personality. It’s very bohemian, like me.” We couldn’t agree more!

The Golden Globe-winning actress proved that she is one of the most confident women in the business at “The Skeleton Key” premiere. She wore this low-cut, sheer paneled Atelier Versace gown, which left nothing to the imagination. While some women may have felt uncomfortable showing this much skin, Hudson couldn’t have cared less. “I was walking out of the house and realized the dress was see-through. I said, ‘You Know what? I feel fine,’” she said.

At the “You, Me and Dupree” premiere, Kate Hudson shimmered in this sequin Diane von Furstenberg wrap-dress. During filming, the Oscar-nominated actress reportedly had an affair with her co-star Owen Wilson, which broke up her marriage to Chris Robinson. While Hudson and Wilson went on to date, their breakup – and her subsequent hookup with Dax Shepard – is rumored to be the reason why the comedian attempted suicide back in 2007.

The “Almost Famous” star kept it simple in this strapless Dolce & Gabbana minidress from the Spring 2008 collection. She accessorized with opaque tights, black satin pumps and a bright red envelope clutch. Even though things were over with Owen Wilson at this point, Hudson had nothing but positive things to say about her former lover. “Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly. And I wish him beautiful things – health and everything that he desires in life,” Hudson told Vogue.

Kate opted for a more bohemian look at the 44th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. She wore this pink strapless Balmain Spring 2008 floral gown with beaded details and accessorized with Cartier jewels. This Balmain dress is definitely reminiscent of the free-flowing Valentino she wore to the 2003 Golden Globe Awards; however, the Valentino, with its bold colors, was a much nicer dress.

The Academy Award-nomianted actress wore this black and white geometric patterned strapless mermaid gown with a peplum at the waist from the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2009 collection to the New York Premiere of “Bride Wars.” Even though the film was universally panned by critics, receiving a 10% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and being selected by Time as one of the top 10 worst chick flicks, we think this is a winning look on Hudson.
