In the movie Daniel Day-Lewis plays a famous Italian film director, 'Guido Contini', who is facing a midlife crisis in both his personal and professional life.

He struggles to find the inspiration and creativity to create his latest movie through his relationships with the women in his life, his wife, Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his mistress, Carla (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse, Claudia (Nicole Kidman), his mother (Sophia Loren), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a prostitute from his youth, Saraghina (Fergie) and an American fashion journalist from Vogue, Stephanie (Kate Hudson).

Two of the costumes from the exhibit were worn by Kate Hudson's character in the movie.

The other fabulous dress that Kate Hudson wore was this shimmering outfit for the film's ensemble finale, which she also wore with white thigh-high boots.
