Glorious: Kate Hudson Goes Boho Chic in Lace and Polka-Dot Dresses With Santoni Boots While Promoting Her Debut Album

In the summer of 2024, Kate Hudson stepped into a new creative chapter—one that felt less like a reinvention and more like a long-awaited arrival.

Already celebrated for her decades-spanning film career, the actress leaned fully into her lifelong passion for singing and songwriting with the release of her debut album, Glorious.

Blending rock, pop, soul, and folk, the record debuted strongly across multiple Billboard charts, signaling that Hudson’s musical instincts resonated just as naturally as her on-screen presence.

Rather than treating the moment as a side project, she committed to the full rhythm of a musician’s press tour—appearing on morning shows, hosting signings, and stepping out in looks that echoed the album’s free-spirited tone.

What made the era especially compelling was how seamlessly her fashion followed suit. From bohemian dresses to statement boots, Hudson’s press-tour style reflected the same confidence and ease that defined Glorious itself—creative, personal, and unmistakably her own.

Bohemian White Lace & Santoni Boots: Kate Hudson’s Glorious Press-Tour Look

Kate Hudson, known for her effortless bohemian style, wore her signature look for her guest appearance on CBS Mornings, where she talked candidly about the inspiration behind her songs and how her kids have influenced her career in music.

Hudson demonstrated her mastery of the trend by choosing the traditional bohemian combination of a flowy white dress and knee-high boots. Her charm lies in her ability to pull off such a classic pairing without coming across as clichéd.

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress looked stunningly put together in the Isabel Marant lace dress in versatile ecru. The laid-back silhouette makes it perfect for the warm summer months.

Isabel Marant’s “Valdia” Lace Dress with Santoni Knee-High Boots

Cut from delicate nylon lace, the “Valdia” dress features a racer front and back halter neckline that highlights Kate’s toned arms.

Though the dress has a bohemian vibe, the transparent bead trim gives it an air of sophistication. It’s finished with a scalloped hem that grazes her knees, showcasing her toned legs.

Danny Fujikawa’s fiancée paired the boho lacey number with black knee-high boots by Santoni, an Italian fashion brand known for its finely crafted leather footwear and accessories.

Of course, her boots are made of luxurious, premium-quality leather. They feature a sophisticated silhouette with almond toes and block heels about 4 inches high, boosting Hudson’s 5’6” stature.

Her blonde hair was blown out, framing her face. She completed the carefree yet stylish appearance with a hint of pink lipstick and little makeup.

Sheer Polka Dots & Suede Boots: Roberto Cavalli at a Glorious Album Signing

A few days earlier, Kate Hudson was photographed looking stylish in a see-through polka-dot maxi dress outside Barnes & Noble 5th Avenue, ahead of her album signing event.

She wore an exquisite creation by Roberto Cavalli, whose signature glamorous, exotic prints are evident in Hudson’s dress.

Featuring boho bishop sleeves and a tiered floor-sweeping skirt, this breezy maxi dress is perfect for summer. It’s see-through enough to show Hudson’s black bra and knickers underneath. Hudson styled it with a wide black leather buckled belt to help define her waist and enhance the dress’s bohemian flair.

Santoni Suede Boots with Barely-There Beauty Details

Kate completed her look with black suede boots, easily identifiable as Santoni because of their distinctive orange outsoles. This footwear complements the ensemble’s bohemian concept well.

Instead of wearing jewelry, Kate added color to the outfit by painting her nails red.

A red lip would have perfected the look, but Hudson opted for subtle, barely-there makeup. Her golden hair was arranged in bouncy curls that fell over her chest.
