Kate Hudson has never shied away from a bold fashion moment. And, apparently, her family hasn’t shied away from poking fun at her for it. Kate’s latest red-carpet look, a daring gown worn to the New York premiere of “Song Sung Blue,” sparked a wave of playful teasing from her brother, Oliver Hudson, who couldn’t resist turning the outfit into an Instagram joke.
Kate Hudson’s brother jokes about her dress on Instagram
Oliver Hudson and his sister have long been known for their comedic back-and-forth, and this weekend’s post was no exception. Sharing a photo from Kate’s premiere, Oliver celebrated her performance in the new film with a heartfelt message before swiftly pivoting into sibling mischief. In the picture, Kate’s gown featured a dramatic, plunging neckline that dipped nearly to her waist. Oliver jokingly described the design as an “inappropriate nipple exposer.”
“It’s not fair to me as her older brother to have to see this,” he wrote, even circling part of the dress in red to drive the joke home. True to form, his caption escalated the humor with a mock-serious claim that he himself “would never show [his] body” out of respect for America — and, for reasons only Oliver would come up with, “parts of Iceland.” He capped off the post with the hashtag #shacklethenipple.
Several users predicted Kate would soon deliver a comeback, while others declared the moment “peak sibling behavior.” Many noted that the Hudson-Hawn-Russell family — who all live close to one another — has made playful banter something of a family brand.
Oliver’s message, though comedic, still centered on celebrating Kate’s new role, which he said left him emotional and overwhelmingly proud. Their bond has been publicly visible for years, including through their joint podcast, “Sibling Revelry,” where their good-natured teasing is a regular feature.
And Kate, for her part, is no stranger to poking fun at herself. Only recently, she joked on Instagram about wearing a bralette and sweatpants, comparing it to a lingerie post from Kylie Jenner. So if fans are waiting for a witty clapback to Oliver’s dress critique, they likely won’t have to wait long.
