When Kate Hudson showed up at the New York premiere of “Rock the Kasbah“, everyone was floored. The 36-year-old actress showed off her enviable figure in an hourglass sequined dress. It was another successful look from the actress, much lauded by fashion critics.

What Kate wore to the event was a stunning Balmain Resort 2016 striped sequined dress with a halter top and a bare back. She styled this with a box clutch and a pair of Brian Atwood “Tribeca” sandals. She kept her hair neatly combed back and opted for smokey eyes to complete the sultry effect.
The look was so memorable that when Tamala Jones showed up wearing a very similar dress, we couldn’t help but do a comparison.

The “Castle” actress also wore a striped sequined dress featuring a halter top embellished with more baubles. But unlike Kate, her styling was a bit more over-the-top. Tamala wore chunky accessories that further accentuated the gaudiness of the dress.
We definitely like Kate’s more refined styling. Metallic dresses should be accompanied by simple accessories to avoid looking like a walking Christmas tree.
If you can’t get your hands on these striped dresses, try other metallic ones. Here are some finds:
1. Maria Lucia Hohan Metallic Long Sleeve Evening Dress with a Front Slit, $831.34
2. Badgley Mischka Draped Back Sequined Gown, $620.00
