It’s a little over a month before the Knives Out sequel, A Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, makes its way to our screens, and naturally, the cast has been on a press tour in preparation for the film’s release at the end of November. That tour included a press conference at the 2022 BFI London Film Festival on October 16 where actor Kate Hudson, who plays Birdie Jay in the film, turned heads with stunning waist-length mermaid waves. 

Hudson arrived on the red carpet in a printed two-piece skirt set with brown boots and minimal accessories. Her bright blonde wavy hair was parted down the middle, and that’s it. This simple textured hairstyle looked so effortless that if you told us she hopped out of bed that morning, brushed it, and then came to the press conference, we would believe you. We also love how seamlessly her dark roots blend into the rest of her bright blonde waves. 

Similar to her hair, she kept it light and simple with her glam — the only visible makeup is her lightly-lined lids and shimmery cheeks, though we’re sure she arrived at the red carpet with a full-yet-unclockable beat. As our eyes traveled down the length of her hair, we also noticed the almond tips painted in a blood-red hue that just screams Halloween. Whether she purposeful chose the polish to honor the spooky season or she’s just a fan of sinister reds is up to the jury to decide. Regardless, those dark red nails looked gorgeous alongside her tousled, blonde beach waves.
