Kate Hudson, 45, Flaunts Figure in See-Through Outfit on Stage, Sparking Criticism

Kate Hudson lit up the stage in Los Angeles on May 18, 2024, during a performance of her new album “Glorious.” The singer and actress captivated the audience not only with her vocal talent but also with her daring fashion choices.

Hudson, 45, wore a see-through floor-length dress featuring flesh-toned fabric and pink floral appliques. Underneath, she sported a flesh-toned bodysuit, completing the bold ensemble.

With pink lipstick and her long blonde hair cascading down to her upper back, the “Touch The Light” singer exuded confidence and style.

Hudson took to social media to share images from the night, captioning her post, “LA Show! Thank you for coming out! Such a dream 🥰 Let’s do more 😉😜🦋 @thebellwetherla.”

Her post quickly garnered attention, with fans and critics flocking to the comments section to share their thoughts on her outfit and performance.

The reaction to Kate Hudson’s outfit was mixed, with some fans praising her boldness and others expressing disapproval. Those who loved the outfit showered her with compliments.

One fan exclaimed, “Can we talk about this outfit though 🔥🤩 ✨,” while another fan who loved Hudson’s fashion gushed, “Omg THIS DRESS!!!” A third fan charmed by the singer’s look and singing wrote, “❤️🔥 I absolutely love your voice and style.”

Conversely, critics were not shy about voicing their negative opinions. One user pointed out that Hudson hadn’t accepted her current age, “She tries [too] hard to be young and hot, so embarrassing I feel bad for her kids.”

Another conflicted user commented, “I don’t understand why singers have to dress like this.” The user wondered if Hudson chose the outfit to take her mind off her bad singing. Still, they said, “Not that I think she sings bad but I just don’t get it.”

The critiques continued even among those who loved Hudson’s voice. One of these people observed, “Like the singing… yet can do without the see thru nighty. sigh.” Another critic, who did not hold back, boldly remarked, “Why is she singing her lingerie?”

Hudson’s see-through dress is not her first controversial outfit as her fashion choices have always been bold and impossible to predict. For instance, while on a trip to the Paris Fashion Week, the singer wore a bodycon cutout from Mônot.

She and her stylist, Sophie Lopez are not fans of sticking to one formula that works as they prefer experimenting and pushing boundaries. “I never want to feel like I am beholden to one thing,” confirmed Hudson.

The singer is always on the lookout for outfits that show that she is free and able to play around. “So my style depends on the way the wind blows. Some days I want to be a minimalist, others I want to wear as many colors as possible because the hippie in me needs to come out,” she explained.

Still, fashion is not all there is to the star, as she revealed that music has always been her first love. The singer took a bold step to chase after one of her lifetime dreams, which is playing rock star. Her fruits are evident in the album “Glorious,” which her fans love.

Music has profoundly influenced Hudson’s life. She achieved her breakthrough as an actress by portraying band groupie Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s 2000 drama “Almost Famous,” a role that earned her an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win.

However, her desire to pursue music took a backseat when she progressed in her career as an actress. Nevertheless, she insisted, “I never lost sight of what I love.”

Two decades later, Hudson went after what she loved, knowing that if she did not, it would be a great regret. So, in 2021, the singer started writing her songs and took time to create her album as she wanted it to be perfect.

Hudson also confessed, “When I was younger, it was harder to write more hopeful songs. Now I think I have a better understanding and connection to uplifting lyrics.”

Having learned to write lyrics and taken her time to create her album, Hudson, who worked with her fiancé, musician Danny Fujikawa, and legendary singer-songwriter Linda Perry, ended up creating an incredible 2-song collection, showing off her range and eclectic taste.

And while the “Talk About Love” singer has no plans to give up acting, she is incredibly happy singing even if she does so in a room with only 20 people.

As her professional life thrives, Hudson is also enjoying life with her three kids, Ryder, 20, and Bingham, 12, and daughter Rani, 5. As previously reported, Hudson stirred conversation on social media with an intimate birthday photo in bed featuring two of her three children.

The snapshot, capturing a private family moment, sparked criticism over parenting practices. Out of the several pictures shared, one snapshot particularly stood out. In the picture, Hudson had no clothes in bed beside Rani and Bingham. Her eldest son, Ryder Russell Robinson, was not in the picture.

In the photo, Rani held a rose while Bingham and their mom posed topless under the sheets. Hudson wore a sleeping eye mask with her arm extending over her children. This image sparked varied comments, with some questioning her decision to appear shirtless.

“Why are you shirtless in bed with your kids?” one person asked, while another remarked, “She’s naked with her kids.” Another stated, “Where’s her shirt? I KNOW I’m NOT the only one wondering.”

Amid the critiques, a supporter defended Hudson, writing, “My child & I always sleep without shirt, it’s normal. It’s called skin to skin & it’s bonding.”

Hudson’s birthday celebration included a surprise breakfast complete with gifts and flowers. Later, her children joined her as she blew out the candles on her beautifully designed floral cake. The celebration continued with a picnic.

As the day went on, the celebrations continued into the evening with friends, dinner, and drinks. Still, this wasn’t the first time Hudson, depicted in the photo as “shirtless,” sparked reactions from fans.

She earlier reposted Marcy McCartney’s Instagram photo montage from a photoshoot they did in the past. The carousel of pictures featured the actress in her underwear while posing in bed.

Netizens who came across the post flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts, wondering how her son in college would feel upon seeing the snaps.

“Why, you are a Mom? You are awesome without this,” one person wrote.“Yes, she’s beautiful, but I can’t imagine her son Ryder seeing this and his college friends,” another added. “Can’t imagine being her elder son and walking to class [the] next day,” a third echoed.

Meanwhile, some left praises for Hudson, writing, “You’re amazing in every way,” “Omg, this really hot Kate,” and “You’re obviously beautiful… but why share these? I feel like I’m watching a Britney video.”

Hudson’s kids often appear on her social media posts. One such post captured a sweet moment where the Hollywood star and her children posed on a bed. “Momming since 2004,” she captioned the post.

Hudson shares her oldest child, son Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson; her second, Bingham, with ex-partner Matt Bellamy; and her youngest, Rani Rose, with her current partner, Danny Fujikawa. Rani was born in 2018 and turned five last year.

Previously, Hudson shared a snap of her daughter and partner amidst the Christmas season, and fans couldn’t help but notice their strong resemblance. Her youngest child, dressed in a red knit sweater, was all smiles while her father’s arms were wrapped around her.

Hudson posted another photo with her daughter and partner in September 2023, where they rocked matching Tiffany and Co. bracelets. This family moment reflects her ongoing commitment to cherish every minute with her children.
