When your long blonde waves reach your waist, be like Kate Hudson: Lean into mermaidcore.
The 43-year-old, who stars alongside Daniel Craig, Janelle Monáe, and Kathryn Hahn in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, walked the red carpet at the Madrid premiere of the Rian Johnson film in a Halpern halter dress that could make Ariel drool.
The ruched lavender bandeau, secured by a sequined halter strap, paired with the high-waist sequined skirt, is very much giving “she just got her legs.” Seriously, if you’re looking for a high-fashion mermaid costume this Halloween…
With the help of her longtime stylist Sophie Lopez, Hudson played up the underwater aesthetic with a fistful of sparkling gems, including stacked rings with emerald-cut stones, a dazzling bracelet, and a single statement earring. Hudson tucked her long blonde hair into a sleek ponytail to hang down her back, and kept her makeup soft and subtle.
Mermaidcore seems to be the hottest red-carpet trend since sheer fabric was invented, with stars like Amanda Seyfried also embracing form-fitting sparkles. The trend is also popular in the world of beauty—think a glossy glow, shimmery finishes, and of course, hair (or extensions) in undone, imperfect waves that seem to flow forever.
