When you're in the spotlight, even a small wardrobe malfunction can turn into a big deal. Just ask Kate Hudson, who recently experienced not one, but two dress disasters while promoting her new Netflix show 'Running Point'.

AceShowbiz - Kate Hudson encountered a fashion faux pas that left her in a momentary panic during a screening and panel discussion for "Running Point" at The Paley Center for Media in Midtown Manhattan on February 26. The Oscar-nominated actress was in the middle of a Q&A session when the left side of her plunging black gown, selected by stylist Marc Eram, suddenly came unfastened.
Squealing "Oooh!" in shock, Kate quickly placed her hand over her chest, bursting into laughter to shake off the snafu. The auditorium filled with 192 attendees watched as co-star Brenda Song shielded her from the audience while Justin Theroux and moderator Samantha Barry jumped to assist her.
"It's a car accident back here!" Theroux joked as he helped adjust her dress while aiming to diffuse the tension.
Frequent wardrobe hiccups marked the evening, resurfacing just 30 minutes later. As Kate applauded co-star Jay Ellis, her gown betrayed her once more. Theroux, still a good sport, came to her rescue again but couldn't help but jest, "It's getting boring at this point."
Despite the mishaps, Kate Hudson carried on with her duties, embodying the role of Isla Gordon, a party girl-turned-LA Waves owner in Mindy Kaling's 10-episode basketball comedy "Running Point". The show premiered on February 27 and has already been greenlit for a second season by Netflix.
On a lighter note, the evening's events drew some parallels to Amanda Seyfried's wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. Seyfried shared her experience of how her Dior Haute Couture gown fell apart when she was speaking with "Top Gun: Maverick" star Glen Powell, emphasizing the unpredictability of live events.
Beyond her acting, Hudson is also flourishing in her music career. She released her debut studio album "Glorious" on May 17 and is slated to perform at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival on May 24. She also stays engaged with fans through her iHeartRadio podcast "Sibling Revelry" co-hosted with her brother Oliver Hudson.
Amidst her busy professional life, Kate is also a loving mother to her three children from previous relationships. While the wardrobe malfunctions could have been a catastrophe for some, Hudson's grace and humor turned the evening into a relatable and entertaining moment for everyone present.
