The Return of an Iconic Look

Kate Hudson brought a wave of nostalgia to Warner Brother's 77th Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees Celebration in Beverly Hills on September 13. The actress stepped out in a breathtaking silk slipdress in butter yellow, reminiscent of her unforgettable look from the 2003 rom-com, *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*. But this wasn't just a simple throwback – Hudson added a daring modern twist with a push-up bustier-style neckline, giving the iconic dress a fresh edge.

A Fresh Spin on a Classic

Styled by Sophie Lopez, Hudson's ensemble was a masterclass in modern elegance. The updated slipdress featured a textured bustier-style neckline, departing from the original cowl neck. Unlike her film character Andy, who paired the dress with a lavish diamond choker, Hudson chose minimal jewelry – delicate diamond studs and a few rings. Her blonde locks were styled in a voluminous blowout, cascading over one shoulder, perfectly complementing her black clutch and beige pointed toe heels.

“The suit is obviously a nod, but that butter-yellow suit almost didn’t get on because it’s the [same color as the] yellow dress from *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*,” Salvador Pérez shared.

A Nod to Her Rom-Com Roots

This isn't the first time Hudson has paid homage to her beloved film. Last year, she donned a yellow Sandro suit in her Netflix show *Running Point*, a deliberate Easter egg for fans. Costume designer Salvador Pérez revealed, "Kate’s like, ‘I don’t know.’ And we’re like, ‘But it’s so fabulous!’” Clearly, Hudson knows how to keep her iconic fashion moments alive.

Sabrina Carpenter also recently honored the legendary dress with a yellow minidress on her 25th birthday, proving the timeless appeal of Hudson’s original look.

Memories and Reflections

Reflecting on the film, Hudson shared with Vanity Fair that working with Matthew McConaughey was "an amazing experience." She fondly recalled their dynamic, "With Matthew and I, it is just a very similar type of joie de vivre. We love life, we lead with energy, very competitive by nature, we’re competitive with each other, very flirtatious, not afraid to be flirtatious." Clearly, the magic of their on-screen chemistry continues to resonate with fans.

So, whether through fashion or film, Kate Hudson knows how to captivate an audience – and her latest yellow dress moment is no exception.
