Goldie Hawn made a rare and heartwarming red carpet appearance alongside her 12-year-old granddaughter, Rio Hudson, capturing the attention of fans who couldn’t help but notice their striking resemblance.
The duo attended the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 on July 21 at New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center. While the event was star-studded, it was Goldie and Rio who stole the spotlight, with fans quickly taking to social media to comment on how much the granddaughter looks like her famous grandmother.
Goldie, 79, was joined by her son Oliver Hudson, his wife Erinn, and their three children—Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio. The iconic actress wore a vibrant, patterned dress paired with a blue necklace and earrings, while young Rio dazzled in a cream dress adorned with pink and gold floral designs. Their shared golden hair and matching smiles lit up the red carpet.
Photos of the two smiling side by side quickly went viral. “She has Goldie’s smile,” one fan wrote. Another added, “She looks just like her grandma. Such a beautiful young girl.” Many also pointed out her resemblance to her aunt, Kate Hudson. “That girl is a mini Kate!” one viewer said. Another chimed in, “She’s like a perfect mix of Goldie and Kate.”
Social media lit up with reactions, with comments ranging from “Genetics are amazing” to “Goldie and her granddaughter could be twins!” One user summed it up: “It’s wild how Goldie and Kate don’t look that much alike, but Kate’s daughter and Goldie? Practically identical.”
The appearance was a rare glimpse into Goldie’s family life—and fans couldn’t get enough. From toddler red carpet appearances to now holding her own in the spotlight, Rio has grown up in front of cameras, and this moment proved she’s ready to shine on her own.
