kate hudson: love it or leave it?

There are few actresses in Hollywood that are as charismatic as Kate Hudson. She has a way of lighting up the screen. Or red carpet. Or really anywhere she happens to be. It is a rare quality that leave me in awe...and has made her one of my favourite actresses. In addition to loving her on-screen work, her books Pretty Happy and Pretty Fun are both full of positivity, solid life advice, and joy. A little while back, Kate dazzled at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in Beverly Hills. She showed up wearing a black and white dress by David Koma, and reactions have been mixed. On that note! Are you ready for another installment of love it or leave it?

What I Love: There is so much to love about this look. First of all, her shaved hair looks stunning. She is one of the few people who can pull off any and all hairstyles. Totally chic and gorgeous! I also love her understated accessories, with the white shoes, simple danging earrings, and small silver clutch. The colour combination here is also spectacular. I love that the dress is black and white yet is anything but boring or understated. The small cut out details on the skirt are subtle yet elevate the piece to a bold level. It adds almost an edgy look to this otherwise classic ensemble.

What I Loathe: This is almost the perfect look! I adore it! The only thing that I am not a huge fan of is the slit up the front of the dress. While the peek of skin is a nice addition and breaks up the cut out pattern well...it would have looked better if the placement had been more to the side. That way, the silhouette of the skirt would have stood out even more.

For the most part, this is a stellar red carpet outfit. She looks polished, poised, and ready to conquer the world. Kate Hudson has a history of wearing some seriously amazing styles. This is just another one to add to the list!

What do you think of this look? Love it or leave it?
