Jaw-Dropping Fashion Moments: Kate Hudson, Kerry Washington, and Olivia Wilde Light Up the 2026 Directors Guild of America Awards!

On Saturday, February 7, 2026, Kate Hudson, Kerry Washington, and Olivia Wilde attended the 78th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards (DGA), hosted by Pakistani-American comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, to recognize exceptional directorial achievements in feature films, documentaries, television series, and commercials from 2025.

At the 2026 Directors Guild of America Awards, American singer-songwriter Kate Hudson, actress Kerry Washington, and filmmaker Olivia Wilde made a notable fashion statement by wearing exquisite outfits, including embroidered dresses, short dresses with extended trains, and patent leather dresses, all enhanced by opulent accessories.

Let’s take a peek at what each of these three fashion icons wore to the 2026 Directors Guild of America Awards.

1. Kate Hudson: Elegance in Navy

Let’s begin with Kate Hudson, who presented Shannon Murphy with the Best Limited and Anthology Series Award for “Dying for Sex,” a season 1 comedy/drama series directed by her and starring Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, and others.

The actor from “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” walked the yellow carpet and posed for photographs in a stunning short-sleeved dark navy blue silk satin pencil dress, inspired by Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection, adorned with gold crystal embellishments on the front and an off-the-shoulder neckline. Her look was completed by black suede Giuseppe Zanotti “Intriigo” mules on an ultra-slim stiletto heel, which highlighted her statuesque posture.

2. Kerry Washington: A Playful yet Sophisticated Charm

Kerry Washington, on the other hand, wowed the audience as she walked down the yellow carpet to the stage, where she presented Amanda Marsalis with the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Dramatic Series award for “The Pitt,” an HBO medical procedural drama starring Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, and others.

The star of “The Six Triple Eight” donned a chic black and beige strapless dress from Elie Saab’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, featuring a sweetheart neckline and a tailored bodice that beautifully accentuated her figure while radiating contemporary sophistication. Her gown was completed with a long, sheer, flowing train adorned with exquisite designs that created an irresistibly whimsical mood, sheer black stockings with properly spaced polka dots, and magnificent black satin platform sandals.
