Kate Hudson reacts to Taylor Swift’s almost famous-inspired penny lane coat—and Its possible Easter eggs
Hudson’s coat from the 2000 film is forever a style staple.
When Taylor Swift descended upon Super Bowl weekend, she instantly declared one thing: the Penny Lane coat is back.
On Feb. 8, the “Cruel Summer” singer, 35, rocked a chic shearling coat that cinema fans could arguably agree was a nod to Almost Famous, a 2000 rom-com starring Kate Hudson as a ‘70s band groupie named Penny Lane, whose coat in the film became so famous that she became the unofficial namesake for the style.
While appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Feb. 25, Hudson, 45, had nothing but kind words to say about Swift’s nod to the movie, which earned Hudson her first Golden Globe in 2001.
“This was very exciting, She wore the Penny Lane coat,” said the actress, who also pointed out that there were more Easter eggs referenced with Swift’s look than meets the eye.
Hudson and host Jimmy Fallon went on to discuss some of the potential clues that nodded to 13, Swift’s lucky number. First, Almost Famous was released on Sept. 13, 2000, while The Beatles’ hit song, “Penny Lane,” was released in the U.S. on Feb. 13, 1967.
