Kate Hudson flashed her abs as she led the star-studded crowd at the 2025 WIF Max Mara Face of the Future event in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Arriving at the Chateau Marmont, the actress, 46, was joined by Ashley Benson, 35, who turned heads in a very daring dress with a thigh-high leg split.
Kate teamed a black highneck crop top with a matching full length skirt and a quirky belt wrapped around her bare waist.
She completed her chic look with a pair of barely-there strappy heels and styled her hair straight.
Ashley teamed her leggy, draped gown with classic stiletto heels as she posed for photos outside.
The Pretty Little Liars star was joined by her husband Brandon Davis, who looked smart in a suede jacket and black trousers.

During the event Maude Apatow was awarded Max Mara’s Face of the Future in recognition for her work as an actress, writer, and director.
Maude is the daughter of actress Leslie Mann and filmmaker Judd Apatow – and has embraced nepotism with her latest project, casting several stars who have had a leg up in the industry owing to their famous backgrounds.
The Euphoria actress – who began acting at the age of seven with a role in her father’s comedy film The 40-Year-Old Virgin – made her directorial debut with Poetic License, which was released in September.
Her mother Leslie plays former therapist and soon-to-be empty nester Liz, who becomes the unexpected point of tension between two inseparable best friends as they fight for her affections.
The remaining cast list for the upcoming film reads as a who’s who of Hollywood offspring – with no less than half the cast boasting celebrity relatives.
Elsewhere, Kate, recently revealed she finds the ‘feeling of failure’ the hardest part about walking away from a relationship as she opened up about her past romances.
Appearing on Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail, the American actress spoke candidly about how hard she has found it in the past to let go of a relationship as she admitted her therapist told her she had to stop dating men.

The star admitted: ‘The hardest part about walking away from relationships is the feeling of failure. One hundred percent.
‘So for me, that was the hardest thing, it’s letting go of the fact that it feels like a failure, or I couldn’t make something work, or I couldn’t fix something.
‘I think sometimes it’s like you’re trying to fit a square peg in the round hole and it’s just never going to happen.’
Explaining how she has grown to realise that sometimes people are just not meant to be she added: ‘Then you realise as it heals, “Oh, this isn’t the failure, this was exactly what needed to happen.”
‘Because if you look back and you’re like, “uh oh, what did I do? Why couldn’t I do that? Why couldn’t I give that person what they needed?” Then you have to do some real reflecting and really go figure out what that is.’
Revealing her therapist advised her to stop dating men for a year prior to meeting Danny, she admitted by the end she ‘couldn’t care less about who was texting me.’
Kate went a year without men as she explained: ‘I took boys out of the equation and had to just go through this process of feeling very uncomfortable with not having any connection to anything that could ignite my dopamine, my flirtatious.’

Using the time she was single to work on herself, she admitted: ‘Then it was like I hit something, I hit this core of an issue for myself.
‘I had [an] almost like childhood cry and it was like a weight had been lifted off of me and honestly, from that point on, I couldn’t care less about who was texting me.
‘My life became so happy alone. I felt very connected to what I wanted to do, my daily routine with my kids, my cozy time.
‘I didn’t care about putting anything on and so when then I went back into the dating world, my relationship to dating completely changed.’
