Kate Hudson’s return to awards season cinema is deeply intertwined with her identity as a mother; and what a role she opens with in latest film, Song Sung Blue. The Neil Diamond–inspired musical tells the true story of a middle-aged Milwaukee duo who found unexpected success as a Diamond cover band in the ‘90’s. Drawn to the project through the lens of a more vulnerable, mature role, her performance has already secured her an Oscars nomination too.

From Penny Lane to Claire Sardina, Kate is inimitable, transcendent, and truly a star ⭐️

Deeply grateful to David Baratz and the USA Today photo team for the opportunity; and deeply grateful to Kamil Szczepaniak for helping me bring this to life.
