Raised by her mother and long-time partner Kurt Russell, whom she considers her father, Hudson graduated from Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences and was accepted to New York University but chose to pursue an acting career instead. She skyrocketed to international fame with her Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated performance as Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous (2000). Following this breakthrough, she became a staple of the romantic comedy genre, starring in massive hits like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003), You, Me and Dupree (2006), and Bride Wars (2009), while also exploring musical roles in the film Nine and the television series Glee.

Beyond her acting career, Hudson is a highly successful businesswoman, notably co-founding the activewear brand Fabletics in 2013, which grew into a global powerhouse. She has also authored lifestyle books, launched the King St. Vodka brand, and debuted as a recording artist with her first studio album, Glorious, in 2024. Hudson has three children from her relationships with musician Chris Robinson, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, and her fiancé Danny Fujikawa. Known for her infectious energy and "boho-chic" style, she remains one of Hollywood's most versatile figures, balancing high-profile film projects with a sprawling lifestyle empire and a burgeoning music career.
