At the 2nd Annual Girl Up #GirlHero Awards at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on October 13, 2019, Kate Hudson stepped onto the purple carpet in a satin green Hellessy Resort 2020 gown paired with distinctive two-tone Tamara Mellon sandals.

While the draped Hellessy dress delivered plenty of visual impact, the footwear provided a sharper focal point. Hudson completed the look with Tamara Mellon’s monochrome “Shade” mule sandals, a black-and-white design that balanced the gown’s rich color with clean, graphic contrast.
She also posed alongside fellow honorees Cara Delevingne and Jameela Jamil, whose equally memorable outfits and designer shoes helped make the Girl Up #GirlHero Awards a showcase of diverse red-carpet style.
Fellow honorees Cara Delevingne, Kate Hudson, and Jameela Jamil showcased three distinct approaches to event dressing at the 2nd Annual Girl Up #GirlHero Awards, from Delevingne’s cutout jumpsuit and sharp white pumps to Hudson’s emerald Hellessy gown with monochrome Tamara Mellon sandals and Jamil’s sleek black mini dress paired with over-the-knee boots
The Hellessy gown featured a plunging neckline, voluminous sleeves, and a draped mermaid silhouette gathered at the hip.
An asymmetric hemline added movement and showcased the footwear, keeping the contrasting black-and-white sandals visible throughout the look.
