'Wow': Kate Hudson, 45, Stuns in a Shimmering Gold Dress at the 'Running Point' Premiere, Sparking Buzz – Photos

The red carpet lit up as Kate Hudson arrived in a stunning ensemble, effortlessly commanding attention. But her bold fashion choice wasn't the only thing setting social media on fire.

Kate Hudson turned heads and ignited talks at the premiere of her new Netflix series, "Running Point." The actress made a striking entrance at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles on February 13.

Hudson stole the spotlight dressed in a shimmering gold gown. The floor-length dress featured a plunging square neckline and daring thigh-high slits on both legs. She complemented the look with a silver necklace, adding contrast to her ensemble. Her makeup remained subtle, with a soft smokey eye and nude lips, embracing a natural glam aesthetic.

Hudson wasn't the only star at the premiere—she was joined on the red carpet by co-star Brenda Song and other cast members. However, it was Hudson's dazzling look that sparked online buzz.

As photos and videos circulated, fans couldn't stop raving about her outfit. "Wow, Kate snatched up all the spotlight in that dress 😍," one admirer commented. Another user was eager to know more, writing, "Kate's dress!!!! I want to know who makes it! 🔥🔥." Others kept it simple, with remarks like, "This dress is iconic," and "Wow 🤩 Kate."

However, not everyone was impressed. Some critics weighed in, with one person noting, "Poor girl looks so uncomfortable." Another added, "Not loving the dress on Kate." Supporters quickly came to Hudson's defense. One fan countered, "I think the dress is stunning and ethereal. Every human has a stomach. Not a bad thing."

Beyond fashion debates, speculation took a different turn. Some wondered if Hudson might be expecting. "Is she pregnant?" one person asked, while another echoed, "Is Kate pregnant again?"

Kate Hudson wasn't alone at the "Running Point" premiere—her fiancé, Danny Fujikawa, was by her side. Dressed in a sleek black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, he joined Hudson for photos on the red carpet. At one point, the couple shared a quick kiss, a moment that didn't go unnoticed by fans.

But while some saw it as a sweet display of affection, others had a different take. "They both looked like that kiss killed them," one observer quipped. Another commented, "She couldn't get away fast enough," seemingly referring to Hudson's reaction.

The moment quickly became a topic of discussion online, with fans analyzing every detail. "She looked like she hated that kiss though, or am I the only one that noticed?" someone asked. Another added, "That seemed awkward?"

Fujikawa's swift exit after the kiss also caught attention."That didn't look like love 🤪," one user wrote, while another remarked, "He couldn't escape fast enough!"

Beyond the kiss, Fujikawa's appearance drew mixed reactions. His long hair and full beard, a signature look for him, didn't sit well with some viewers. "He needs a razor," one critic wrote. Another added, "He needs a barber ASAP." A third user was even more direct, saying, "He needs a shower, a good haircut, and a shave."

Despite the online chatter, Hudson remains focused on her upcoming series, "Running Point" where she plays Isla Gordon. She took to Instagram to share her excitement, posting a promotional image from the show with the caption, "February 27th!! Running Point is coming to @netflix 🏀 I cannot wait for you to meet Isla."

The series, created by award-winning actress and producer Mindy Kaling, follows Isla, the only daughter in a family of brothers. When her older brother steps down as president of their family's basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, Isla is unexpectedly thrust into the role.

Now, she must prove to her skeptical family, the board, and the sports world that she’s the right person to lead the legendary franchise. The 10-episode comedy blends humor, drama, and the high-stakes world of professional basketball. "Running Point" features a talented ensemble cast, including Justin Theroux as Isla's brother.

Speaking about the show, Kaling shared her enthusiasm for crafting stories about strong women. "I really love writing shows about ambitious women," Kaling told Netflix. "Isla Gordon is a character I connect with deeply. She's a strong woman navigating a high-pressure environment, and her journey is both entertaining and inspiring."

With Hudson at the helm, "Running Point" is shaping up to be a must-watch when it debuts on February 27.
