Ladies, frost it.
Kate Hudson shined from head to toe on the 2026 Oscars red carpet in a crystal-embroidered, jade-colored Giorgio Armani Prive dress worth more than 41 carats, or $35 million. — A rare green diamond from Galatti.
But it wasn’t just haute couture and jewelry that she brought glamor to. Hudson completed her Academy Awards look with a “diamond dust-infused” manicure from Essie’s Liquid Diamond collection.
Celebrity nail artist Brittany Boyce, whose clients include Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian, layered the sparkling Drip Drip shade with Essie’s pale pink Fairy Tailor and a shiny top coat to create the “perfect icy glazed neutral nail.”
The Liquid Diamond collection won’t officially launch until May, but Essie launched it in limited quantities at Ulta Beauty tonight so shoppers can get their hands on it early.
In addition to Hudson’s clear shade, the polish comes in seven other colors, including Frost Yourself, a nod to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Unlike most celebrity-favorite gel polishes, this formula doesn’t require professional tools like UV lights, but it still lasts up to 15 days. (Editor’s note: I’ve tried this line myself and can confirm that it really does have salon-like staying power.)
Nail polish wasn’t the only brand new beauty product Hudson incorporated into her Oscar look. She also wore some of Charlotte Tilbury’s latest creations, including the Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer.
The star, who walked the carpet tonight with her mother Goldie Hawn, was nominated for Best Actress at tonight’s ceremony for her role in the musical drama Son Saint Bleu.
And while she didn’t walk away with the trophy, it’s safe to say she nailed the red carpet look.
