Couture Glamour: Kate Hudson Shines in Vivienne Westwood and Jimmy Choo Platforms at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
At the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Hudson leaned fully into golden-age glamour, arriving in a yellow Vivienne Westwood Couture gown that felt both classic and distinctly her own.
The Fabletics founder styled the heart-shaped neckline with David Webb jewelry, Jimmy Choo “Max” platform sandals, and a Jimmy Choo “Cloud” clutch, letting the sculptural gown and high-shine accessories carry the moment.
