February is a great time for TV and film. We've already had big hitters like Amandaland, Bridget Jones Mad About The Boy, and The White Lotus offering equal parts entertainment and style inspiration, but one new Netflix show is set to outdo them all. Running Point arrived on Netflix on 27 February, bringing with it the perfect blend of sports, scandal, and exquisite outfits.
Kate Hudson is back in the spotlight, and this time she's bringing with her all the power suits and courtside-chic one could dream of. Set in sunny Los Angeles, Running Point follows Isla Gordon (played by Hudson) as she navigates the world of basketball. She's suddenly thrust into the president's chair of one of the most revered basketball franchises in the country - the challenge? Convincing her sceptical brothers, larger-than-life personalities of the sports world and a discerning board that she's more than capable. Co-created by Mindy Kaling, the series has heaps of sharp wit, mixed with an empowering message that proves Isla - and her wardrobe - are a force to be reckoned with.

While Kate Hudson is busy running a basketball team, her wardrobe is anything but busy. In fact, Hudson's love of tonal dressing is woven through the entirety of the series, which is unsurprising considering the fact she had a hand in curating Isla's authoritative yet distinctive wardrobe. Expect shades of navy, cream, plenty of monochrome, and accessories that add a touch of West Coast insouciance. In a series like Running Point, corporate dressing can sometimes feel uninspired, but Hudson (alongside costume designer Salvador Perez and stylist Sophie Lopez), ensure Isla's outfits are never boring - a mix of effortless glamour and polished co-ords, which have us immediately taking notes.
Think of dressing like Kate Hudson in Running Point as a sartorial slam dunk. Shop Hudson's outfits and high street alternatives below.

The grey one-shoulder waistcoat
One of the standout looks from the series is made up of a one-shoulder waistcoat top from Acne Studios. Paired with sleek leather trousers, the look feels equal parts polished yet rebellious - this is a character stepping into a high-stakes world dominated by men, after all.

Hudson's exact grey one-shoulder top is from Acne Studios, and now only available in a couple of sizes. The top is just so cool, with a gathered striped linen-blend texture and satin back panel.

If your size isn't available in the original Acne Studios version, the high street has your back, with a similar iteration in black from River Island.

shop.mango.com
Although we doubt Hudson's exact trousers are from Mango, the brand has a similar black pair, complete with belt loops, high-rise waist and zipper fastening. Aside from styling with a waistcoat top, you could also pair it with a baggy graphic tee and Adidas trainers.
The tweed co-ord
Hudson serves serious CEO energy in a navy tweed co-ord that's so good, it looks like it could be Chanel. It isn't, however, it's from a brand called Generation Love and its the Viv Tweed Jacket (now sold out). A masterclass in making corporate dressing feel modern, we've found a high street alternative from Hobbs that delivers the same kind of timeless sophistication.


www.hobbs.com
The Marie Jacket from Hobbs has a similar tweed material, as well as a cropped fit and collarless neck. When you want to wear the co-ord as two separates, style the jacket with straight-leg jeans, knee-high boots and a fitted bodysuit.

To go with the tweed cropped jacket, you're going to need the matching skirt to complete the co-ord. The skirt is just as chic, with an A-line cut, notch detailing and gold buttons.

Underneath the co-ord Hudson finishes the outfit with a white vest top or bodysuit. This one from Free People has a similar scoop neck and crisp white colour.
The satin maxi
When Hudson swaps the boardroom for a black-tie engagement affair, she does so in spectacular style, with a Galvan London satin-crepe dress. Paired with delicate drop earrings and a champagne flute in hand, Hudson's look feels simultaneously aspirational yet still attainable.

Galvan's Santorini Gown is made from a lustrous satin-crepe material that is said to gather elegantly at the stomach before flowing down onto the floor. The dress is so good, there are only a couple of sizes in stock - so be quick.

clubllondon.com
Club L have come to the rescue with a similar satin dress that we're sure would be fit for Hudson. The high street version features a cross over halter neckline, open back and fishtail skirt.
The grey herringbone co-ord
As we're getting to know Hudson's character, we're starting to learn that she loves a great co-ord. This grey one is up there with one of her best (although there's quite a few to choose from).


www.johnlewis.com
As Hudson's exact grey co-ord is out of stock, we've found one that's in stock and more affordable. Made from a blend of recycled polyester, this Nobody's Child waistcoat top features welt pockets and an adjustable strap at the back for a closely cinched fit.

The preppy outfit isn't complete without the matching midi skirt, made in the same heritage check and with quirky pleats. Designed to sit high on the waist, pair the skirt with either the matching waistcoat top, or a chunky turtleneck jumper and loafers.

www.uniqlo.com
Pair the herringbone co-ord with this cotton shirt from Uniqlo to finish the Hudson-inspired look.
The cream ruffled blouse
Hudson's wardrobe in Running Point is all about feminine power dressing, and here she's spotted wearing the Ruffled Silk-Chiffon Blouse from Paige that's already sold out. But, we've found an alternative that's equally as floaty to help you channel Hudson's signature style.


www.marksandspencer.com
M&S is on-hand with a ruffled blouse that looks just like the one Hudson wore in episode one of Running Point. The blouse is complete with a V-neck, ruffles on the sleeves and front, and slightly sheer look.
The monochromatic three-piece
Hudson proves monochromatic dressing is anything but monotonous in this impeccably tailored ensemble. The Anine Bing Quinn Blazer brings a sharp, structured edge, when paired with the Ada Mini Skirt from the same brand. Underneath she wears the Ayda Linen Top from Reformation (that's now sadly out of stock), to form a look that's both commanding and cool.

When it comes to finding a good houndstooth blazer or jacket on the high street, there aren't too many options. M&S, however, has pulled through with a cropped houndstooth jacket, complete with contrast buttons, fringed trims and patch pockets.

The black midi
In a wardrobe filled with tailoring and power blazers, seeing Hudson in a black bodycon midi almost seems too... casual? Elegant with just a dash of drama, her black midi dress features a deep V-neckline and statement gold buttons down the middle.


www.newlook.com
Newlook's black midi dress is similar to Hudson's, with decorative buttons down the front, as well as a plunging V-neckline. In the winter, style with knee-high boots and a statement faux fur jacket, or for the summer, add chunky sandals and a rattan bag.

Mango also has an iteration of a monochrome midi, made from a lightweight fabric and finished with details like a preppy shirt collar, gold buttons and draped waist.

Hudson might be running a basketball empire, but she still knows how to be a little risqué. Enter the Ganni Faux Leather Mini Shirt Dress - a sleek, no-nonsense piece that's sharply tailored yet made from a buttery soft leather.

Exact match

www.asos.com
For a more affordable version, ASOS has this leather-look dress with a similar contrast stitch running throughout. Style with knee-high boots and a statement clutch.
The black suit
When Hudson means business, she does so in Gabriella Hearst. The brand is a go-to for power dressers who favour elegance with edge and this black suit is everything - sharp shoulders, a perfectly cinched waist and lines that exude confidence without trying too hard.

Exact match

www.nobodyschild.com
An alternative to the original Ulla Johnson number is this crimson dress from high street hero Nobody's Child. Again made from a sumptuous velvet fabric, this dress has a flattering bodycon fit, side slit and boat neck.
The yellow suit
Not one to shy away from a statement look, in one scene Hudson is seen wearing the Ryan Blazer and Ryanel Wide-Leg Trousers, both from Sandro and are now sold out. What better place to embrace a sunshine suit than Los Angeles? With Running Point set in the sunshine state, this looks feels like somewhat of a nod to endlessly sunny California.


www.marksandspencer.com
M&S and great tailoring go hand-in-hand, and if you're looking for a suit with a similar sunny-hue, the brand has a great alternative. The blazer has a collarless design that's so on-trend, as well as a single-button fastening and small belt at the back for a cinched silhouette.

www.marksandspencer.com
To go with the blazer, M&S also have the matching trousers, complete with high-waist, front pleats and zip fastening. Plus, they're made from a breeze woven fabric, which means they'll be perfect for summer paired with cami tops too.
