Hollywood star Kate Hudson is set to receive a major honour from the costume design community. The actor will be presented with the prestigious Costume Designers Guild's (CDG) Spotlight Award, as reported by Variety. The award recognises performers who consistently demonstrate excellence and a profound appreciation for the art of costume design in cinematic storytelling.
An Award for Collaborative Artistry
The Spotlight Award is specifically reserved for actors who deeply value the collaborative partnership with costume designers, a relationship crucial for bringing unforgettable screen characters to life. Hudson now joins an elite list of previous recipients, which includes celebrated names like Amy Adams, Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Halle Berry, Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, Andrew Garfield, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Naomi Watts, and Zoe Saldana.
Expressing her gratitude, Kate Hudson stated that being honoured by the Costume Designers Guild holds special meaning. She emphasised how costume designers have been incredible collaborators throughout her career, instrumental in creating authentic and powerful characters that leave a lasting impression.
Honouring Key Collaborations
Reflecting on her journey, Hudson highlighted her work with several acclaimed designers. She credited Betsy Heimann for their collaboration on the iconic film 'Almost Famous' and Karen Patch for 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. For her current project, the musical drama 'Song Sung Blue' where she stars opposite Hugh Jackman, Hudson praised designer Ernesto Martinez for capturing the true essence of her character, Claire, a performer and single mother.
"Costume designers are true storytellers," Hudson remarked, adding that she is constantly inspired by the artistry, intention, and heart they pour into every character they help build.
