Frowning Kate Hudson strips off the glam after losing Oscar for controversial Song Sung Blue

Kate Hudson was spotted out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, days after she lost her Academy Award bid for Best Actress for her role in the controversial film Song Sung Blue.

The 46-year-old silver screen siren was stripped down as she went makeup-free and wore lounge clothes.

It marked a stark contrast from her glamorous display on Sunday at the 98th annual Oscars. 

Hudson's signature blonde locks were tousled in a natural wavy texture as they fell over her shoulders. 

She wore a loose-fitting, oatmeal-colored, long-sleeved waffle shirt and carried a reusable white water bottle.

The Hollywood vet lost her bid for Best Actress to Jessie Buckley, 36, who won for her role in Hamnet.  

Hudson was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 2001 for her role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous.

This year she was recognized for her role as Claire Sardina in Song Sung Blue, in which she starred opposite Hugh Jackman.

The biographical musical drama tells the true story of the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder. 

The actress shares son Ryder, 22, with ex Chris Robinson, son Bingham, 14, with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, and daughter Rani, seven, with fiancé Danny Fujikawa.

Now that her children are older, she's reached a turning point in her career in which she has the 'freedom' to do things for herself.

She explained on the Today Show: 'I started having babies really young, I was 24 and I have an adult child, you know. And so as my kids are getting older, my creative life is taking on a different feeling.

'It's kind of like, backwards. All of a sudden I have a little more freedom to do things for myself.'

She's breaking out of the rom-com genre, after appearing in box office hits like Bride Wars and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

'It was clear that that’s where the industry liked to hire me and then my goal, my hope, was to make the best versions of those,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. 

'I think when you become really famous doing that genre, it’s hard for certain filmmakers to see you in anything other than what we’re watching.

'[They think] these sort of things like, "Well, transforming isn’t what she does" when, in fact, it’s what I love to do,' she said at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February.

Hudson pointed out that she’s ready for 'the next phase.'

'It doesn’t mean to me that all of a sudden I just want to be doing this for the concept of the accolades; I want to do it to put people in the theater too,' she explained.

'This feels like the beginning of maybe that part where I get to do a little bit more transformations than maybe I’ve been able to do in the past.'
