Right before Stella McCartney took the stage to receive the Red Carpet Award at the British Fashion Awards in 2011, Kate Hudson made a speech about her. She recalled the story behind the dress McCartney designed for her to wear at the 2001 Oscars:

“Stella dressed me for my first red carpet event in 2001 for the Academy Awards. It was my first and only nomination. I was 21 years old, and to have Stella McCartney dressing me – well, I felt like the hippest, coolest girl in the world. Up until the last minute, Stella was working away, hand-sewing the hem.”

For that year’s event, Hudson wore the long silver dress with her hair up and done in ringlets. Following that, her look received a lot of criticism from the media, which the actress mentioned by saying:

“I woke up the next morning in my bed post-awards and without a little statuette on my bedside. I turned on the television to find out I was on every Worst Dressed list possible. So I called Stella, and we just laughed our arses off, and she said to me, ‘Look, babe, it was the hair, wasn’t it?'”

A year later, McCartney herself commented on the dress and Hudson’s overall look on the 2001 red carpet during a chat at the Vogue festival. She jokingly ‘took responsibility for the cape’ and said her friend didn’t get the Oscar because of it.

Still, the ‘Almost Famous’ actress revealed that she kept the dress in her closet during her other interviews. She even revisited the design in a TikTok video back in March, hinting at the possibility of wearing it again for another event.

Filming the video while getting ready for this year’s Oscars ceremony, the actress also commented on her appearance:

“This dress is awesome, I love it. It’s a beautiful silhouette; the back is crazy, the cape is good, I even like the crazy hair that everyone didn’t like — I think it looks super cute and different.”

Hudson later suggested that McCartney’s dress was ahead of its time. Some of her followers agreed with this saying people weren’t ready for this look in the early 2000s.
