Hollywood actor Kate Hudson is poised to receive a significant honour from the costume design community. She has been selected to be the next recipient of the prestigious Costume Designers Guild's (CDG) Spotlight Award. The award recognises performers who have shown a long-term dedication to excellence and a profound understanding of how costume design shapes storytelling on screen, as reported by Variety.
A Celebration of Collaborative Artistry
The Spotlight Award is specifically designed to honour actors who deeply value the creative partnership with costume designers, acknowledging their pivotal role in breathing life into unforgettable characters. Hudson now joins an elite group of previous awardees. The distinguished list 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, who was the most recent honouree before Hudson.
Expressing her gratitude upon the announcement, Kate Hudson shared a heartfelt statement. She said, "Being honoured by the Costume Designers Guild with the Spotlight Award is so special and meaningful to me. Throughout my career, costume designers have been such incredible collaborators, helping to create authentic, powerful, indelible characters."
Honouring the Storytellers Behind the Seams
Hudson took a moment to reflect on her collaborations with some of the industry's most talented designers, highlighting key moments in her filmography. "From the beginning of my career, I've been so fortunate to work with such incredible artists as Betsy Heimann on 'Almost Famous,' Karen Patch on 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' and so many others," she noted.
She also spoke about her current project, adding, "In 'Song Sung Blue,' Ernesto Martinez captured the true essence of Claire, as a performer and working single mother." Hudson emphasised the creative core of the profession, stating, "Costume designers are true storytellers, and I am constantly inspired by the artistry, intention and heart they bring to every character." Hudson currently stars opposite Hugh Jackman in Craig Brewer's Focus Features musical drama 'Song Sung Blue.'
