BAFTA nominee Kate Hudson oozes Hollywood glamour in a scarlet Prada robe as she turns heads on the pink carpet

Kate Hudson had all eyes on her as she stepped out at the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2026 in an elegant red silky gown.

The Fool’s Gold star, 46, exuded old Hollywood in the strapless Prada number for the event at The Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

The glamorous dress had a cinched waist, enhancing her slender silhouette, while she accessorised with dainty jewellery pieces including a statement pendant diamond choker.

Kate, who is nominated at this year’s awards for her role in Song Sung Blue, looked in great spirits, flashing her best smile on the star-studded red carpet.

The American actress has earned a nomination for Best Leading Actress, which also netted her an Oscar nomination this year.

25 years after being nominated in the same category as Almost Famous’ Penny Lane, Kate will this time go head-to-head against Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Renata Reinsve and Emma Stone.

At the event, Kate was joined by her dapper partner Danny Fujikawa, 39.

The musician looked smart in an all-black suit as he cosied up next to his loved one, whom he shares daughter Rani Rose, 8, with.  

Song Sung Blue sees Kate starring as Claire Sardina, who alongside her partner Mike (played by Hugh Jackman), found love and success performing as the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder – based on a true story.

One Battle After Another was the big winner at the 2026 British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night, as it scooped six gongs during the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

The Paul Thomas Anderson hit had already received a record 14 nominations, and came out on top as it won Best Film, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Cinematography and Editing.

While Jessie Buckley won Best Actress honour for her role in Hamnet, having been favourite to do so, the night wasn’t without surprises, as Timothee Chalamet missed out on Best Actor to a home-grown favourite.

Despite being tipped as a favourite for the honour for his role in Marty Supreme, Timothee lost out on the prize to I Swear star Robert Aramayo.

Director and producer Paul Thomas Anderson said: ‘Thank you for rewarding our film in the way that you have, its just a tremendous honour. 

‘I’m well aware of the other films that share this. Anybody that says movies aren’t any good any more they can piss off because this is just a great f*****g year.’

He added that he planned to go and find a ‘bar somewhere to go celebrate.’

The biggest loser of the evening was the highly acclaimed ping pong drama Marty Supreme, which went into the evening as one of the favourites, with 11 nominations. It came away completely empty-handed.

Jessie, who is already tipped as a favourite to win the Oscar for Best Actress, used her acceptance speech to thank her fellow nominees.

She said: ‘This is really such an incredible honour. As a little girl I never thought in a million years I would be allowed to make a film but here I am. 

‘When I arrived into my agent Lindy King in London, and I had nuclear bad fake tan on, white hoop earrings, a polka dot red skirt and dress, and I had the audacity to say to her that I dreamed to someday be something like Judi Dench. 

‘I don’t know how on gods green earth she even dreamed that was possible. This really does belong to the women who have taught me and continue to teach me how to do it differently.’

Irish star Jessie Buckley has been nominated for her lead role in Hamnet after already scoring a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award and nominations for the Academy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards

Thanking her fellow nominees, Jessie forgot to include Kate Hudson and asked the audience: ‘Who have I left out?’ She then added ‘I am in awe of all your incredible performances thank you.’ 

Meanwhile viewers, and guests in attendance, were stunned when it was announced that Robert had been awarded Best Actor for I Swear, beating out Hollywood heavyweights Timothee and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Upon learning of his son’s honour, Robert’s father jumped to his feet and was shouting and jumping up and down when his son’s name was read.

One Battle After Another will be no doubt be hoping to win one award after another, with Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film earning a remarkable fourteen nominations at this year's ceremony (Leonardo DiCaprio pictured in the movie)

From the stage, Aramayo said: ‘I absolutely can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’m looking at people like you never mind that I’m stood here. 

With 28 gongs awarded on Sunday night, the main winners were One Battle After Another with six prizes. Sinners, Frankenstein and I Swear followed with three each whilst Hamnet won two gongs.
