She kept her jewelry minimal yet striking, opting for a statement chain-link necklace from SABYASACHI featuring two hanging jewels and an 18-carat gold Briony Raymond Retro diamond ring.
Her signature blonde waves framed her face as she flashed a warm smile for the cameras, exuding timeless elegance.

Adding to the night’s charm, the “Overboard” star arrived hand in hand with her longtime partner, Kurt Russell, proving once again why they are one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. Together for over 40 years, the pair radiated warmth and effortless glamour as they posed for photos.

While the couple’s dazzling appearance captivated many, online discussions took a different turn as some speculated about changes in Hawn’s face.
One user commented, “Pity she had work done on her face. Lips give something Away [sic]. Dress is lovely.” Another added, “I love them. But Goldie needs to stop injecting her face. It doesn’t look natural.”

Another user remarked, “Too much plastic surgery,” while a fan disagreed, “I don’t see any Botox or plastic surgery on her. She’s gracefully wearing her wrinkles and looks awesome.”
Meanwhile, one fan declared her “absolutely stunning,” while another called her one of the “classiest” ladies at the event.
Despite the debate, Hawn’s presence at the Oscars reaffirmed her status as a Hollywood icon. She took the stage as a presenter alongside Joe Alwyn, Sterling K. Brown, Willem Dafoe, Ana de Armas, Selena Gomez, Connie Nielsen, Ben Stiller, and Oprah Winfrey.
One of the night’s most touching moments came when Hawn took the stage with co-presenter Andrew Garfield to announce the award for Best Animated Film. Before reading the nominees, Garfield turned to Hawn and shared a heartfelt tribute.

“There’s a person who gave my mother, during her life, the most joy, the most comfort. And tonight, I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn,” Garfield said.

Hawn, visibly touched, replied, “Thank you, sweetie, that really touches me.” But Garfield wasn’t finished. He continued, “You’ve given us movies full of joy, you’ve lifted our spirits, and you’ve made us feel that all is right with the world, over and over and over again.”
The “Death Becomes Her” actress responded with gratitude to the young actor, “I just loved it. I was so lucky making movies in this amazing Hollywood and making people laugh. And maybe some didn’t, but that’s okay.”

She eased the moment with humor, playfully asking Garfield to assist her in reading the prompter. She openly acknowledged that she was “completely blind” and had cataracts.
Though discussions about her appearance continue, Hawn has long embraced confidence and vitality at any age. In June 2023, she proved just that while enjoying a sun-soaked getaway with Russell in Greece.
The actress stunned in a black swimsuit during a speedboat ride with Russell, who was shirtless and wore black-and-white patterned shorts. Later, Hawn was seen strolling down the beach, a red pareo draped around her neck as she carried a basket of treats.
Her beauty isn’t just admired on red carpets or vacations—it runs in the family. Many have noticed how much her granddaughter, Rio, looks like her.
As reported in June 2024, Hawn delighted her fans by sharing a heartwarming photo of herself with her granddaughter, Rio Hudson, on vacation. Netizens quickly reacted to the post, with one fan commenting, “What a resemblance.” Another noted, “Grandma’s copy cat! [sic]”

The photo captured Hawn and Hudson posing together outdoors. Hudson sported a monkey-printed swimsuit and white sunglasses, while the actress wore what looked like a black one-piece swimwear paired with pink sunglasses. “Vacationing with our family! It’s the greatest gift one could ever have ❤️,” Hawn’s caption read.
As the photo spread online, more people joined in with heartwarming comments. Someone described them as “TWINS,” while others observed, “Wow! She looks like her grandma.” One remarked, “Gorgeous x2 [sic], followed by another supporter’s remark, “Your Grandma is the fairest of them all [sic].”
One enthusiastic follower wrote, “@goldiehawn she’s an absolute mini you [sic].” Amidst the sea of admiration, a curious fan inquired about the little girl’s family connection, speculating, “Adorable. This must be Oliver’s daughter, right?” Goldie cheerfully confirmed, replying, “Yes! Rio laura Hudson. What a gal xx [sic].”

Hawn has been open about her close bond with her grandchildren. In a March 2023 interview, she discussed her approach to family, explaining that she no longer gives advice to her children but focuses on setting a good example for them and her grandchildren.

She emphasized the importance of hard work and staying compassionate. “And I’m passing that on because that was what my father taught me: Stay in reality. Don’t get taken away with everything. The rest of it is up to them,” Hawn explained.

She highlighted the importance of being present for others while recognizing that they must face and resolve their own challenges independently, despite the difficulty involved. This philosophy echoes Goldie’s long-standing views on family and happiness.

In an August 2017 interview, she expressed how her family brings her deep happiness and fulfillment. “A good family is the answer to happiness…I look at our kids and grandchildren and there’s nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all them,” the proud grandmother said.
