“The minute you put on one of Michael’s designs, your whole mood changes,” says Kate Hudson. “It’s glamorous but easy and makes you want to wear it every day. You just feel good.” It makes sense, then, that the designer’s fall/winter 2023 show during New York Fashion Week was a can’t-miss for the actress, who most recently delighted audiences as former influencer-turned-fashion mogul Birdie Jay in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Scroll through to see how Hudson got ready for the show, from getting a manicure while noshing on avocado toast to choosing a topknot for “big-city-meets-beach vibes.”
The minute you put on one of Michael’s designs, your whole mood changes. It’s glamorous but easy and makes you want to wear it every day. You just feel good.
Never not multitasking: morning manicures with a side of toast.
I love a sun-kissed beauty moment.
Where has this outfit been all my life? A blazer and a bandeau is like the best of both worlds.
Usually, I’m a loose waves kind of girl, but something about this look was giving me big-city-meets-beach vibes that called for a topknot.
I’m such a fashion person; I love playing around with the finishing touches. Accessories are a great way to personalize your ensemble.
I’m coming for you, Michael Kors!
Michael is really good at making basics that are anything but basic—this clutch is a perfect example.
I love how these pieces celebrate the body and yet still feel sleek and polished—another signature of Michael’s.
A runway show is like fashion and theater combined. Is there a better way to spend your morning?
