AceShowbiz - Kate Hudson dazzled on the Oscars 2026 red carpet with an extraordinary display of glamour and sparkle. The actress wore a stunning jade-colored, crystal-embroidered gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, perfectly complemented by an astonishing $35 million worth of rare green diamonds from Garatti, totaling over 41 carats.
But the luxury did not stop at her dress and jewelry. Kate Hudson elevated her look further with a unique manicure featuring a "diamond dust-infused" nail polish from Essie's Liquid Diamonds collection. Celebrity nail artist Brittany Boyce, known for working with stars like Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian, created the perfect "iced glazed neutral nail" by layering the shimmering Drip Drip shade with Essie's pale pink Fairy Tailor and a Shiny Top Coat.
The Essie Gel Couture Liquid Diamonds polish, which officially launches in May, was released in a limited quantity at the Oscars, allowing shoppers early access to this luminous formula. The collection offers eight shades, including Frost Yourself, a playful nod to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” This gel polish stands out by providing up to 15 days of wear without the need for professional UV light tools. (Editor’s note: The polish truly delivers salon-quality longevity.)
Alongside her dazzling nails and jewelry, Kate Hudson also showcased the latest beauty products from Charlotte Tilbury. She wore Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer among other new launches from the brand, rounding out her flawless red carpet makeup.
Walking the carpet with her mother, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson was nominated for Best Actress for her role in the musical drama Song Sung Blue. Though she did not take home the award, her red carpet presence was a clear win for style and elegance.
This breathtaking look was a combination of artistry, luxury, and innovative beauty trends, proving that Kate Hudson knows how to command attention at one of Hollywood’s biggest nights. From the $35 million in real green diamonds to the cutting-edge diamond-infused manicure, she set a new standard for red carpet glamour.
By combining couture fashion, exquisite jewelry, and modern manicure technology, Kate Hudson created a memorable Oscars moment that sparkled inside and out.
