Kate Hudson continues to dominate headlines with her relentless drive and eclectic career choices. Fresh off the heels of promoting her upcoming Netflix series Running Point, the actress has been vocal about her passion for blending comedy with heartfelt storytelling. Beyond the screen, she champions discussions on creative risks in Hollywood, proving her influence extends beyond acting. As 2025 approaches, Hudson’s calendar brims with projects that promise to reinforce her reputation as a dynamic force in entertainment. 

What if one missed opportunity could redefine an entire career? For Hudson, that question is not hypothetical, it is a bittersweet reality tied to a beloved cinematic classic, The Devil Wears Prada.

Kate Hudson admitted to turning down the lead role of Andrea Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada, during an interview with Capital Breakfast radio show, a decision she now calls “a bad call.” The 2006 film, which became a cultural phenomenon, ultimately starred Anne Hathaway alongside Meryl Streep’s iconic Miranda Priestly. Scheduling conflicts at the time forced Hudson to pass on the project. Reflecting on the missed chance, she acknowledged that she “should’ve made that work.”

Hudson remains philosophical about the situation, acknowledging the film’s success, including Streep’s Oscar-nominated performance, which solidified its place in pop culture. The movie grossed over $326 million globally, leaving fans to wonder how Hudson’s take on Andrea Sachs might have reshaped the story.
