Hollywood Glamour Hits Paris for Song Sung Blue Premiere
All eyes were firmly fixed on Kate Hudson this Sunday evening as she made a spectacular appearance alongside co-star Hugh Jackman. The duo graced the red carpet at the iconic Le Grand Rex cinema in Paris for the highly anticipated premiere of their new film, Song Sung Blue, known to French audiences as Sur un Air de Blues.
A Vision in Pink: Hudson's Show-Stopping Look
The 46-year-old actress commanded attention, showcasing her incredibly svelte figure in a stunning pale pink satin gown. The dress featured a meticulously corseted bodice and a daringly plunging neckline, which elegantly revealed a black bra beneath. The Almost Famous star complemented her look with a pair of classic black stilettos, adding inches to her frame.
She styled her signature blonde hair in a sleek and elegant updo, a choice that perfectly highlighted her sparkling diamond earrings. Beaming with a radiant smile, Hudson posed confidently for the press before warmly greeting her on-screen husband, Hugh Jackman.
Jackman's Timeless Style and a True Story Behind the Film
Hugh Jackman, 57, cut a dashing figure beside her, embodying classic Hollywood cool in a sharply tailored black suit worn over a simple white T-shirt. They were joined by the film's director, writer, and producer, Craig Brewer, who looked equally dapper in a suit paired with a purple button-up shirt and a geometrically patterned tie.
The film itself is a biographical musical drama based on Greg Koh's 2008 documentary. It tells the remarkable true story of a married couple, Mike Sardina and Claire, who find local fame in their Milwaukee hometown after forming a tribute band dedicated to the music of '70s superstar Neil Diamond.
Jackman portrays Mike, a down-on-his-luck musician, who teams up with another struggling artist, Claire, played by Hudson. Together, they form the Neil Diamond tribute act Lightning & Thunder. The movie charts their journey from obscurity to love and success, navigating personal tragedies including Mike's troubled past and a serious accident that befalls Claire, all set to the soundtrack of Neil Diamond's greatest hits.
Moving Reactions from Neil Diamond and Family
In a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the lead actors shared heartfelt reactions to the film. Hugh Jackman revealed that the legendary Neil Diamond himself was moved to tears after watching it. "Neil rang me crying because he was so moved by the movie," Jackman explained, adding that he subsequently stayed at Diamond's home where they enjoyed an impromptu karaoke session.
Kate Hudson also disclosed that her famous parents, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, were similarly emotional. "They were a mess," she said. "Hugh and I were also a mess when we saw it for the first time, which is really rare. It is such an intense love story."
Jackman didn't hold back in his praise for his co-star, stating, "Whatever expectations I had of Kate, she came in and blew straight past them. She is a force of nature and honestly it is one of the best performances you will ever see. She is extraordinary."
