Kate Hudson to Receive the Costume Designers Guild’s Spotlight Award (EXCLUSIVE)

Kate Hudson is set to receive the Costume Designers Guild’s Spotlight Award.

The Spotlight Award celebrates an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment
to excellence, including a special appreciation of the importance of costume design. Past recipients
include Amy Adams, Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Halle Berry, Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close,
Andrew Garfield, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Naomi Watts and, most recently, Zoe Saldaña.

In a statement, Hudson said, “Being honored by the Costume Designers Guild with the Spotlight Award is so special and meaningful to me. Throughout my career, costume designers have been such incredible collaborators, helping to create authentic, powerful, indelible characters. From the beginning of my career, I’ve been so fortunate to work with such incredible artists as Betsy Heimann on ‘Almost Famous,’ Karen Patch on ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ and so many others. In ‘Song Sung Blue,’ Ernesto Martinez captured the true essence of Claire, as a performer and working single mother. Costume designers are true storytellers and I am constantly inspired by the artistry, intention and heart they bring to every character.”

Hudson currently stars opposite Hugh Jackman in Craig Brewer’s musical drama,
“Song Sung Blue,” for Focus Features.

The guild announced their nominations for the 28th CDGA, with “One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” “Weapons,” “Avatar: Fire and Ash” and “Bugonia” among the titles landing nominations.

The 28th CDGA host, presenters and additional honorees will be announced in the coming weeks.

The CDGA ceremony will take place on Feb. 12, 2026, at The Ebell of Los Angeles, Calif. Winners in the nine competitive categories will be announced live at the event.
