Kate Hudson looked like a pro as she performed songs from her new album Glorious for the first time.
The actress and singer, who has a not only new music to promote, but a new Netflix show as well, took the stage with confidence at the Bellwether in Los Angeles Saturday night.
The 45-year-old donned a diaphanous floor length dress made of flesh toned fabric with pink floral appliques.
She wore a flesh toned body suit beneath the frock.
With her long flowing longs cascading down her back and around her shoulders, the ensemble made her look akin to a modern day Eve.

Hudson, who earned an Oscar nomination for her performance as a rock groupie in 2000’s Almost Famous, revealed that music has always been her first love.
In an interview with People, ahead of the album’s Friday release, the singer said she knew ‘If I don’t do this, it’ll be a great regret.’
It was the Covid-19 lockdown that gave the Glass Onion actress the opportunity to really consider trying out music seriously.
‘I’ve always been fearless in the decisions I’ve made, whether it is in relationships or in career, but this was the one thing that I was so afraid of. It’s like I switched something in my brain, and I was like: “I’m just going to do it. F*** it.”‘
In an interview conducted by her fiancé and co-writer Danny Fujikawa, 37, for Talk Shop Live x Rolling Stone posted on Instagram and Facebook Saturday, the artist answered questions submitted by her fans.
‘One of our favorite songs on the album is a song we wrote together called Love Aint Easy,’ Hudson offered before the Q&A began.
‘It was a very challenging song for us to tackle, hence why the line “love aint easy” came up for me,’ she laughed nervously, looking at her fiancé.

‘But we had an amazing experience writing that song, and then it just turned out to be, just one of my favorites on the album.’
Answering a question about which track made her feel ‘most emotional,’ the star said, ‘We’ll Live Forever is a very emotional song and when I was writing that song, it’s about my son, it’s about being a mother, it’s about being a young mom and kind of growing up with your child and watching them go, and that was very emotional for me when I was writing it and very hard for me to sing initially.
Fujikawa agreed the track tugged at his heartstrings as well.
He shot and edited the video for the song and it allowed him to ‘connect with’ Hudson’s oldest son Ryder, 20, whom she shares with rocker Chris Robinson.
Glorious is Hudson’s first album. In an interview with fiancé and co-writer Danny Fujikawa on social media the couple revealed they began writing songs together during the Covid-19 lockdown
The couple revealed the track Love Ain’t Easy is one of their favorites. ‘It was a very challenging song for us to tackle, hence why the line “love aint easy” came up for me,’ Hudson explained
The songbird said the track We’ll Live Forever was an emotional one for her. It was inspired by her oldest son Ryder, 20. ‘It’s about being a mother, it’s about being a young mom and kind of growing up with your child and watching them go,’ she explained
The video includes home videos from Ryder’s childhood and the filmmaker got ’emotional editing the video.’
Fujikawa also suggested that Touch The Light ‘pretty spiritually hits me in a good way.’
Hudson and Fujikawa are parents to daughter Rani Rose, five.
The actress shares her son, Bingham, 12, with former partner Matt Bellamy of the rock group Muse.
Hudson said the track ‘Glorious is a very emotional song, an intense, big ballad and that one also hits me.’
Answering another question about what she had learned in making the LP, Hudson said, ‘I learned that nobody is going to do things for you, and that if you wait to get permission to do the things that you love, you might be waiting forever’
‘I learned that I had some guts… I learned there’s a lot of music in me,’ she stated

‘I learned that sometimes, when something’s really calling you that taking that leap is like, the only, even though it’s scary, is the only way forward and I felt that way making this album,’ she explained.
‘It was now or I would never make an album and I just had to do it.
‘I learned that I had some guts… I learned there’s a lot of music in me,’ she stated.
