When Kate Hudson showed up at the New York premiere of Rock the Kasbah, everyone was floored by her striking appearance. The 36-year-old movie actress turned heads in an hourglass sequined Balmain dress that perfectly showcased her enviable figure, earning praise from fashion critics across the board.
A few months later, Tamala Jones made a bold statement in a similar sequined ensemble, sparking comparisons between their takes on metallic glam.

The Almost Famous actress styled her dress with a box clutch and Brian Atwood’s “Tribeca” sandals. She kept her hair neatly combed back and chose smokey eyes to complete the sultry effect.

The look was so memorable that when Tamala Jones showed up wearing a very similar dress, we couldn’t help but make a comparison.
Tamala Jones stands at 5ft 4in (162.6 cm), matching the average height of an American woman. However, she is slightly shorter than Kate Hudson, who measures 5ft 6in (167.6 cm).

Tamala Reneé Jones, an American actress with a net worth of $4 million, launched her career in the early ’90s, initially appearing in TV commercials and landing guest-starring roles in various television series.
Tracey Cherelle Jones’ younger sister played a starring role on the short-lived series, “Dangerous Minds,” and was a series regular on several shows. She has also appeared in various films. In 2009, she became well-known for her role as Lanie Parrish on the popular show, “Castle.”
To the 42nd annual People’s Choice Awards, the “Castle” actress wore a striped sequined dress featuring a halter top embellished with more baubles.
But unlike Kate, Tamala’s styling was a bit more over-the-top. She wore chunky accessories that further accentuated the dress’s gaudiness.
