The Vanity Fair Oscars Party is always full of stars, but the 2026 celebration felt like a warm family reunion for Kate Hudson. The actress was joined by her loved ones to celebrate a massive year for cinema. Among the crowd, her 22-year-old son, Ryder Robinson, stood out as her biggest fan. In a touching moment on the red carpet, he shared exactly how much his mother’s success means to him.
Kate Hudson’s son gushes over mom’s hard work and dedication at Vanity Fair Oscars Party
Ryder Robinson is all grown up and taller than his famous mother, even when she is wearing high heels. While chatting with ET’s Denny Directo, Robinson couldn’t stop praising Hudson. He looked back at her long career and the effort she still puts into every role. “I’ve never been more proud of my mother,” he said with a big smile. He explained that he has seen her work up close more than anyone else has.
Robinson noted that his mother’s success did not happen by accident. He told the reporter, “She’s really put in more work and more dedication and more time than I’ve ever seen in my life.” He called her journey a “beautiful thing” to watch. The night was extra special because the whole family was there together. Robinson mentioned it was a true “family night” and he was happy to be part of the celebration.
The interview also took a trip down memory lane. The reporter reminded Robinson of an interview he did when he was just a little boy during the Kung Fu Panda 3 press tour. Robinson laughed and mentioned that a photo from that old interview even ended up on one of his birthday cakes!
Now that he is 22, he is thinking about his own future. He admitted that he wants to enter the entertainment business too. However, he knows it won’t be easy. “I have big shoes to fill,” he said, referring to his mom and his grandmother, Goldie Hawn.
Hudson eventually joined her son on the carpet to share the love. She looked proud as she stood next to him. Hudson explained that they come from a “family of storytellers” and that they simply love what they do. It was clear that the bond between mother and son is stronger than ever. For Robinson, the night wasn’t just about the glitz and glamour of the Oscars; it was about honoring the woman who worked so hard to get there.
