Kate Hudson Stuns in Plunging Black Leather Strapless Bodice at BAFTAs Pre-Party
Kate Hudson stuns in a black leather strapless bodice and white pleated skirt at the 2026 BAFTAs pre-party in London.
Kate Hudson didn’t just attend the BAFTAs Nominees’ Party. She owned it.
The Song Sung Blue star kicked off BAFTAs weekend in serious style at the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards Nominees’ Party, held inside London’s National Gallery on February 21. Arriving alongside her husband, musician Danny Fujikawa, the pair looked every inch the polished Hollywood duo.
Danny kept things timeless in a sleek black suit and tie, letting Kate take center stage in a look that felt bold, modern, and perfectly suited for a chic pre-ceremony soirée.
For the evening, Kate chose a plunging black leather strapless bodice that sculpted her frame and brought a sharp, fashion-forward edge to the red carpet. The structured silhouette hugged in all the right places, delivering that confident, I-know-I-look-good energy. Leather at a formal art-gallery setting? Unexpected. That’s exactly why it worked.
She balanced the strong top with a flowing white pleated skirt that skimmed the floor in soft, airy folds. The contrast was striking. The structured leather bodice gave power; the ethereal skirt added romance. Together, it felt like a masterclass in modern glamour.
Her beauty look stayed effortless. Kate wore her blonde hair in glossy, side-swept waves that framed her face beautifully. Her makeup was fresh and luminous, with bronzed skin and a soft pink lip that kept everything glowing but not overdone. Minimal jewelry sealed the deal, allowing the silhouette to shine.
Inside the National Gallery, Kate mingled with fellow nominees and industry heavyweights, posing for photos with Chase Infiniti and Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro. The nominees’ party marks another high point in what’s already been a standout awards season for Kate. Her performance in Song Sung Blue, inspired by the true story of a Neil Diamond tribute act, has drawn praise for its emotional depth and vulnerability.
If this pre-party look is any indication, Kate Hudson isn’t just showing up this awards season. She’s making a statement.
