Kate Hudson Just Wore the Elegant Dress Trend That'll Be at Every Wedding You Attend in 2026
We're nearing the end of the 2026 award season, which kicked off shortly after New Year's Day. In the last two months, we've ogled at Selena Gomez's feathery Chanel dress at the Golden Globes, Sabrina Carpenter's Valentino number at the Grammys, and Chase Infiniti's yellow Louis Vuitton gown at the Critics' Choice Awards. Today, we arrive at the Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards.
Curious about the name change? It makes sense because the ceremony does not present Best Picture or Best Director awards, focusing exclusively on acting roles across both television and film. "Voted on by SAG-AFTRA’s robust and diverse membership of 160,000+ performers, The Actor Awards has the largest voting body on the awards circuit," it explains on its website. My colleague has covered all the must-see red carpet looks from the 2026 Actor Awards, but I wanted to single out Kate Hudson wearing a custom Valentino dress and bespoke Desert diamond jewelry created by L.A.-based fine jeweler Emily P. Wheeler. Capes will be a huge trend for both brides and wedding guests in 2026, so prepare to see this silhouette a lot in the coming months.
