At the 2001 SAG Awards, first-time nominee Kate Hudson wore more gemstones on her Donna Karen dress than her décolletage. Her only visible jewels were stud earrings, glimmering from beneath her wavy curls. Now, 25 years and two nominations later, Hudson made up for lost time—and diamonds—at the SAG-turned-2026 Actor Awards red carpet in over 20 carats of custom Emily P. Wheeler sparklers.
Nearly two hours after L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium opened the red carpet, the "Female Actor in a Leading Role" nominee honored the “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ‘20s and ‘30s" dress code in a Valentino gown and opulent Emily P. Wheeler gems. The L.A.-based jeweler sculpted "a half million-dollar" high jewelry set, featuring a necklace, a cocktail ring, and earrings, just to complement the Song Sung Blue star's dress.
