Remember when Kate Hudson had the hippie chick thing going at most awards shows – the free and breezy vibe and beach waves? She was a reluctant sartorialist.
Well, such is no longer the case.
This hippie has gone haute.

She attended the gala for her latest film – Mira Nair’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist at the Toronto International Film Festival – in an ultra-glam gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

That star? Every time a red carpet dress fits so well, a fashion angel gets its wings.

Along with Julianne Moore (who also wore McQueen), Kate is one of my choices for best dressed at the Fest.
Her acting in said film, which I’ve just returned from seeing today? Not as scene stealing.
