"I think the dress is a bit much n that slit," wrote a separate observer.
Others said the look was missing an extra accessory, similar to the one Taylor Swift wore at the Grammys. "Missed opportunity for a thigh chain for Kate."
Another group defended Kate against body-shamers who said she "looked pregnant" in the gown.
"She's always had a great figure. She doesn't have to try hard," one fan stated.
"Wow, some of the comments from the women on this thread like Kate Hudson looks amazing. Truly beautiful and the dress is Bonkers good," noted someone else.
"I think this dress is stunning and ethereal. Every human has a stomach, not a bad thing," an additional user wrote, while another pointed out, "She is 45 and has 3 kids! We should all be so lucky to look that good."

Mindy Kaling, who co-created the show and was present at the premiere on Thursday night (February 13), explained that Running Point will feature a strong female lead, similar to her previous projects Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls.
"Those with big personalities. I'm not involved in a lot of things with demure female leads. That's not my vibe, and it's my taste in books, too."
At the premiere, Kate was asked about working with Hugh Jackman on their upcoming musical drama film Song Sung Blue. "I've never worked with anyone meaner in my life," she joked.
"Hugh is dreamy. We had such an amazing time and I love him so much. We had a wonderful time making that movie and it was the best."
