Actress Kate Hudson lit up the red carpet in Berlin on Wednesday, November 19 as she joined Hugh Jackman for the premiere of their new movie, Song Sung Blue, at the Zoo Palast cinema. The star, 46, who plays Claire Sardina in the upcoming musical drama, delivered a dazzling, on-theme fashion moment in a plunging sheer gown in – what else – electric blue. With long puffed sleeves, ruched waist detailing, a dramatic cowl back and a delicate mini train, the look was both glamorous and playful. Kate layered the gown with a black triangle bra and silky blue shorts, subtly nodding to the season’s blue nail-art trend as she flashed a fresh manicure on the carpet.
Styling the ensemble with black strappy heels and diamond statement earrings, Kate looked relaxed, radiant and completely in her element as she smiled and laughed with Hugh, 57, as they posed for photos together.

Song Sung Blue is a biographical musical drama based on the real-life story of Mike and Claire Sardina, a Milwaukee couple who reinvent themselves as a Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder. The film charts their rise from small-town performers to finding love, redemption and success on stage – navigating Mike’s troubled past and a serious accident that sidelines Claire – while performing some of Neil Diamond’s most beloved hits.

Not only does it follow the gripping true story of the couple’s rise to fame in the ’80s and ’90s, but Hugh and Kate’s performances (and, yes, they are actually singing) look truly dazzling. Plus, the supporting cast boasts the brilliant Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos) and Succession‘s Fisher Stevens, and Neil Diamond gave it his own seal of approval by granting the creators the rights to his music.

Deadline dubbed it a “real, emotional” depiction of how “unpredictable life can sometimes get”, while Awards Radar penned: “Song Sung Blue is a big-hearted and winning musical love story with all the emotions.”
