Lorde has pretty much made dark purple lipstick her own, so she was all we could think about when we saw Kate Hudson rocking the luscious lip color to the ‘Wish I Was Here’ premiere in NYC in July 2014. The Fabletics founder wore it with Lorde-like washed-out white eye makeup and a black Michael Kors Resort 2015 strapless gown.

The waist cutout in Kate’s dress added a subtle touch of sexiness, while maintaining a romantic goth vibe that was both sleek and sophisticated.

Kate was clearly going for a dark and mysterious look at the screening, but she couldn’t restrain her sunshine-y personality for long and struck these fun and playful poses:
