Kate Hudson to receive Costume Designers Guild Spotlight Award

Actress Kate Hudson is set to be honored with the prestigious Costume Designers Guild (CDG) Spotlight Award at the upcoming 28th Costume Designers Guild Awards ceremony, a recognition that highlights her enduring career and her profound appreciation for the collaborative artistry of costume design in filmmaking.

The CDG Spotlight Award is specifically presented to performers whose careers demonstrate a sustained commitment to excellence on screen and, crucially, who understand and value the critical role costume designers play in bringing memorable, authentic characters to life.

This award celebrates the actor who embraces the transformative power of costume as a storytelling tool. Hudson’s body of work perfectly exemplifies this appreciation, featuring iconic looks from her breakout, Oscar-nominated performance as Penny Lane in Almost Famous (costumes by Betsy Heimann), to the unforgettable 2000s chic of Andie Anderson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (costumes by Karen Patch), and most recently, her portrayal of Claire in the musical drama Song Sung Blue, where she collaborated with designer Ernesto Martinez.

Upon the announcement, Hudson expressed that being honored by the Costume Designers Guild is “so special and meaningful,” underscoring her belief that costume designers have been “incredible collaborators” throughout her career, aiding her in creating “authentic, powerful, indelible characters.” Her statement further reinforced the guild’s core message by calling costume designers “true storytellers” whose artistry and intention constantly inspire her.

The decision to bestow the Spotlight Award upon Hudson places her in an esteemed group of previous recipients, a roster that includes celebrated actors like Zoe Saldana, Amy Adams, Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron.

The award is a distinct highlight of the annual CDGA ceremony, which also announces winners across competitive categories that recognize excellence in contemporary, period, and sci-fi/fantasy costume design for film and television, thus placing the actor’s contribution within the context of the larger craft community.

The 28th CDGA ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 12, 2026, at The Ebell of Los Angeles, where Hudson will formally receive the honor, cementing her reputation not just as a talented performer, but as a dedicated advocate for the transformative power of cinematic wardrobe.
