Special awards go to Michelle Cole for Career Achievement, James Cameron for Distinguished Collaborator, Kate Hudson for Spotlight Award, and Teyana Taylor for Vanguard Spotlight Award. Actress Courtney Hope hosts the event.
Kate Hudson’s Ethereal Elegance
Hudson, 46, captivates in a lilac silk gown with asymmetrical draping that flows down her legs. She pairs the look with a silver diamond necklace and later adds a light brown fur jacket draped like a cape. Her collarbone-length hair falls straight with a center part, complemented by purple eyeshadow, pink blush, and matte lips. Black strappy heels complete the glamorous style.
Teyana Taylor’s Sultry Red Gown
Taylor, 35, earns her first Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress in One Battle After Another. She stuns in a red couture gown with a semi-sheer bodice, mermaid silhouette, and trailing train. Stylists manage the train on the red carpet, accentuating her hourglass figure and side-boob detail. Jet-black hair features a sleek side part with bouncy ends, paired with smoky cat-eye makeup and glossy chocolate lips.
