Kate Hudson shared a lighthearted moment from the 2025 Governors Awards in Los Angeles, revealing how her friend Hugh Jackman helped keep her silk dress wrinkle-free during the event. In an Instagram post on November 17, 2025, Hudson documented behind-the-scenes moments, showcasing the playful nature of their friendship.
To prevent her sage green Valentino dress from creasing, Hudson humorously resorted to lying across the backseat of a vehicle while leaning against Jackman, who offered a playful shrug to the camera. She captioned the image, “Governors Awards 🦋 @theacademy Thanks to Hugh, silk got no wrinkles 🙏😅 Wonderful night ✨,” illustrating the fun they had while preparing for the glamorous event.
Social media users responded enthusiastically to Hudson’s post. Actress Jessica Alba commented, “😍wow,” while one fan praised the duo, stating, “You are both gorgeous and elegant. Congratulations! 👏👏.” Hudson looked stunning in a slip dress that featured a high neck, long sleeves with cutouts, intricate beading, and a delicate train. She styled her look with dangling earrings and embraced an Old Hollywood vibe, complete with smokey eyeshadow and glossy lips.
Jackman complemented Hudson’s elegance with a classic appearance, wearing a tailored black blazer and matching trousers, paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a black tie. Their coordinated styles highlighted the chemistry they share, both on and off screen.
The pair will soon be seen together in the upcoming film Song Sung Blue, a musical drama inspired by Neil Diamond’s band, set to release on December 25. The film’s plot centers on “two down-on-their-luck performers who form a Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.”
Prior to the Governors Awards, Hudson and Jackman also made an appearance together at the 2025 AFI Fest in October. Hudson, who showcased fall fashion trends, donned a bronze silk dress with a plunging neckline and razor-thin straps, accentuated by a cinched waist and a column skirt with a delicate cape detail. Her autumn look was finished with dark red nails, a cherry lip, and gold accessories.
Jackman further documented their memorable evening on his own Instagram, sharing clips of Hudson posing on the red carpet and their playful interactions. Their camaraderie is evident, making their upcoming collaboration in Song Sung Blue highly anticipated among fans.
As both stars continue to shine in their respective careers while supporting each other, their friendship adds a charming layer to their public personas. Hudson’s ability to find humor in the pressures of red carpet appearances resonates with many, while Jackman’s steady presence offers a glimpse into the supportive nature of Hollywood friendships.
