Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman lit up the red carpet at the London premiere of their new film Song Sung Blue.
Hudson, 46, was perfectly on-theme, dazzling in a shimmering light-blue lace gown. The dress featured an intricate all-over floral pattern with beading, while its sheer detailing added a soft, romantic touch to the look. She paired the dress with nude heels and minimal makeup.
Jackman, 57, kept things effortlessly suave in an all-black suit. The pair were joined by fellow cast and production members on the red carpet.
The London premiere of the biographical film — set for release on January 1 next year — took place at Picturehouse Central in Piccadilly Circus on Friday night.
The American actress stars as Claire Sardina in the upcoming musical drama about two down-on-their-luck performers as they form a Neil Diamond tribute band.
The plot follows their relationship, from their meet-cute to their marriage, and their journey building the band. It chronicles both the highs of their musical partnership and the lows, including a devastating accident that threatens their dreams.
Jackman revealed on The Graham Norton Show last week that the 84-year-old New York–born singer cried when he watched the film.
Asked what it was like impersonating a real person who in turn was impersonating a real person, Jackman said: “It was confusing, but I had to sort of lose myself as a performer to become Mike and for Mike to become Neil. It was awesome.”
Jackman added: “Neil rang me crying because he was so moved by the movie. I went to meet him and actually stayed the night.
“It was so great, when at dinner time, he suggested karaoke. We sang, I Dreamed A Dream from Les Mis, Can’t Help Falling in Love, and Sweet Caroline. It was wonderful.”
