Kate Hudson channeled her inner drama queen for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
The actress covered up in a black Alexander McQueen with long sleeves and a slight train. The flash of skin came into play with a significant keyhole-shaped detail.
The look was at once Victorian and vampy with its gold-leaf embellishment at the waist and the intense metallic collar piece, although Kate’s long blonde locks covered much of it and muted the impact.
She did smartly keep her makeup on the more minimal side; anything else would have been far too costume-y.
A gold Roger Vivier ‘Boite de Nuit’ clutch completed her look.

Loving everything but the hair. Would have preferred a sleeker updo or ponytail to show the amazing collar detail.
That would’ve been amazing.
Agree also. We all know she has lovely hair but we don’t need to see it draped across her shoulders all the time …
Agree
ITA
+1.
But she still looks stunning !!
This so much. A flat-ironed pony, and the look would be chic dramatic perfection.
Agree
I completely agree.
I agree.
It makes her look quite pale.
Agree.
The dress is lovely, but the hair ruins it for me as it covers up all that gorgeous embellishment. She should have worn her hair up and, while I agree it was smart to keep the make-up subtle, she appears to need a slightly darker, neutral colour on the eye or lip. As it is, it is washing her out
Totally agree with you.
Actually, I think a smoky eye and a bit more lip color would have helped. She looks washed out.
And, yes, the hair needed to be up or back.
I love the dress but I don’t think it particularly suits Kate. I don’t know.
I love this look!!
Kate looks absolutely gorgeous. It’s in my top 5 of the night
ITA. She does look a little washed out in the pics above, but I didn’t get that feeling when I watched her live on TV. I thought she rocked it.
+1 She looked sexy and elegant and fierce all at the same time.
Definitely in my top 5 too! She looked even better on TV. Simply gorgeous. She’s an average actress but a total stunner on the red carpet.
I actually kinda like her hair here. It adds some sexiness to this look.
I’m with you on this! Such a good look from Kate – it just looks effortless.
I love the dress, but the enamoration ends there. The hair really needed to not interfere with the exquisite detailing; preferably slicked back. Also, I think a vampy wine lip color and a smoky would’ve done her well. Gorgeous dress let down by poor hair and makeup.
I loved the dress, in fact I think I might make one like it for me (seeing as I couldnt possibly afford the original. I also dont mind the hair as it is, it softens the dress, but I agree that maybe a slick ponytail or even low chignon would have been better for the awesome detailed collar.
Why oh why couldn’t she have worn her hair up!? Spoils what could have been an incredible look.
+1 in Cate Blanchett’s or Tilda Swinton’s capable hands this would have been a much more divine experience.
I thought that this was an amazing dress, in fact I am thinking of making one just like itfor me (as I could never afford the original), and I dont even mind the hair as I think that it softens the dress. However I agree that maybe slick ponytail or even a low chignon would have let the amazing detailing on the collar take centre stage. As for her makeup, again dont really mind it, maybe a darker cat eye but not a smoky eye. Still a great look.
sorry I posted the same thing twice, I got an error message the first time.
Seeing to pictures I complete agree with you. But I have to say – I’m really repeating myself
– it did look better on TV. When she appeared to present at the show I had one of those “uau” moments (don’t know how to say that in english!). She looked breath taking. The contrast of her hair with the black of the dress and the gold embellishment were perfect.
i think i hate kate hudson… seriously she looks good in everything and anything. She’s just as radiant as ever – i love this look
A couple of big IF’s for me. IF that keyhole were half its size, and IF she had worn an updo, I would have really liked this fierce warrior look. But I’m lukewarm on it right now.
Normally (and rightfully) I would remark how she should have had her hair up, but her hair (and makeup) look so exquisite, that I almost don’t mind looking at her hair instead of the collar detail!
This would have been perfect with her hair up. Such a disappointment.
I wasn’t into the heavy gold details around the neck.
Best dressed of the night!
This is great imo. She and Emily Blunt have my vote so far.
agree on emily blunt but not on kate. she really should have put her hair into a sleek ponytail to let the dress shine bcoz that is one amazing dress.
What’s the point of having such an embellished neckline if you’re going to hide it?
She should have opted for a belt without additional gold details AND for a more dramatic makeup.
She always looks drop dead gorgeos on the red carpet.I love her look !
my favorite so far
If the hair was up, this would be sooooo much better. The dress has beautiful details that get covered up. Bad styling.
I am dying over this dress, it is sensational! It is such a shame about her hair but she is so beautiful.
Just stunning as always.. my fav last night.
Breathtaking! LOVE, LOVE, love it head-to-toe. An updo would’ve been a better choice for the dress, that’s true, but her hair looks so incredibly gorgeous that I really really don’t mind. This is definitely on my top 3 favorite looks.
best dressed of the night! Simple sophistication with a dramatic accent that takes the look to another level. I think her hair is perfect an updo would have created a trying to hard look and would have changed the appearance of the dress. By leaving the hair down simple and natural it just adds to the look of simple sophistication sleek perfection….best look i have seen in a while
Her hair is blocking and blending into the detail on this dress. Pull it up!
She was absolutely SENSATIONAL! Love her <3
