Let's just put this out there: there were a lot of models at Leonardo DiCaprio's Saint-Tropez bash [1]. Plenty of them were wearing gorgeous naked dresses [2] that were sheer in most places and embroidered with lace in few others. But none of them looked like Kate Hudson [3].
Kate walked into the party in a glittering Julien MacDonald number that featured a strappy, cutout bodice and a chiffon skirt covered in sequins. Her dress wasn't overly bright; it was black. Even still, it was the sexiest one on the red carpet.
That's because Kate Hudson always carries herself with confidence. Even when she's wearing a gown with long sleeves and a floor-sweeping train, she turns more heads than the girl in the jaw-dropping see-through design [4].
Read on to find 24 times Kate absolutely nailed it, leaving us weak at the knees and declaring her our number one style icon. Sure, her toned body helps [5] her appear so fierce, but it's Kate's attitude that really shines through her flawless outfits.
