Kate Hudson shared a lighthearted moment on social media about how her friend Hugh Jackman helped her avoid wrinkles in her dress during the 2025 Governors Awards. The ceremony took place in Los Angeles on November 16, and Hudson took to Instagram the following day to share amusing behind-the-scenes details.
In her post, Hudson, 46, described her efforts to keep her sage green silk Valentino dress looking pristine. She humorously revealed that she laid across the backseat of a car and leaned against Jackman, who is 57, for support. The candid photo captures Jackman smiling at the camera while Hudson clings to his arm. She captioned the image, “Governors Awards 🦋 @theacademy Thanks to Hugh, silk got no wrinkles 🙏😅 Wonderful night ✨.”
The post received enthusiastic responses from fans and fellow celebrities. Actress Jessica Alba expressed her admiration with a simple, “😍wow,” while another fan praised the duo’s elegance, commenting, “You are both gorgeous and elegant. Congratulations! 👏👏.” Many others added green heart emojis to celebrate Hudson’s stunning appearance.
Hudson’s gown featured a high neck, long sleeves adorned with cutouts and beading, and a delicate train. She complemented her look with dangling earrings and styled her hair in loose curls. Her makeup showcased a classic Old Hollywood aesthetic, with smokey eyes, defined eyebrows, and a radiant complexion.
Jackman matched her elegance in a tailored black blazer and trousers, paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a black tie. The two stars are set to appear together in the upcoming musical drama, Song Sung Blue, which is inspired by Neil Diamond’s band. The film is scheduled for release on December 25, 2025, and follows two struggling performers who form a tribute band, illustrating that it is never too late to pursue dreams and find love.
The pair also made headlines earlier in October at the 2025 AFI Fest, where Hudson donned a striking bronze silk dress with a plunging neckline and thin straps. She embraced autumn trends with dark red nails, cherry lips, and gold accessories, radiating confidence alongside Jackman.
Both actors shared snippets of their evening on their respective Instagram accounts, capturing moments of joy and camaraderie. In one clip, Hudson is seen walking toward Jackman, posing on the red carpet before the two join together for a photograph.
As their careers continue to flourish, Hudson and Jackman maintain a strong friendship, highlighting the supportive nature of their professional relationship. With their upcoming film, they promise to captivate audiences once again, blending music with heartfelt storytelling.
