In 1997, she graduated from Crossroads, a college preparatory school in Santa Monica. She was accepted to New York University, but chose to pursue an acting career instead of an undergraduate degree.

At age 11, Hudson performed on stage at the Santa Monica Playhouse.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/now-famous-kate-hudson-162138/|title=Now-Famous Kate Hudson|first=Anthony|last=Bozza|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=October 12, 2000|access-date=December 3, 2018}} She made her film debut in the dramedy Desert Blue (1998), and subsequently appeared in the romantic comedy 200 Cigarettes (1999). She took on the roles of a college student in the psychological thriller Gossip, the lesbian daughter of the titular character in the dramedy Dr. T & the Women and one of the leading roles in the romantic comedy About Adam, all of which were released during 2000.

Her breakthrough came with the role of a veteran groupie in Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical dramedy Almost Famous (2000). She "hung in and had turned down leads in other movies just to play the part" and soon obtained it "because of her loyalty", according to Crowe. For her performance, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress at the 58th Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the 73rd Academy Awards. Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "This power ballad of a movie also happens to be Crowe's greatest (and most personal) film thanks to the golden gods of Stillwater and their biggest fan, Kate Hudson's incomparable Penny Lane."{{cite magazine |title=100 greatest movies, TV shows, and more |url=https://ew.com/article/2009/12/04/100-greatest-movies-tv-shows-and-more/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=January 25, 2022 |language=en |date=December 4, 2009}} She worked hard in avoiding association with her well-known parents, as she did not want to be perceived as someone who "rode on somebody's coattails".

In 2002, Hudson appeared in the remake of the historical romance The Four Feathers, as the fiancée of a young British officer (played by Heath Ledger).

The film was panned by critics and had a lukewarm box office response.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240510/|title=The Four Feathers|date=September 20, 2002|access-date=December 3, 2018|via=www.imdb.com}} In her next film, the romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003), Hudson starred with Matthew McConaughey, as a writer for a women's magazine who, for an article, starts dating a guy and trying to drive him away using only the "classic mistakes women make" in relationships. The film was a box office success, grossing over US$100 million upon its release. She also starred opposite Naomi Watts in the Merchant-Ivory film Le Divorce (2003), portraying a woman who, with her sister, dispute the ownership of a painting by Georges de La Tour with the family of her former brother-in-law.

In 2005, Hudson starred in the supernatural thriller The Skeleton Key, as a young hospice nurse who acquires a job at a New Orleans plantation home, and becomes entangled in a supernatural mystery involving the house. In its review, The Washington Post, describing her, wrote: "Hudson, who dials back her native, Goldie-given charm here to give Caroline a no-nonsense brusqueness, manages to convincingly convey a fearless bullheadedness rather than less sympathetic naivete".{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/11/AR2005081101987.html |title='The Skeleton Key': Boo on the Bayou |first=Ann |last=Hornaday |date=August 12, 2005 |access-date=April 7, 2020 |newspaper=The Washington Post}} The film was a box office hit, grossing over US$91.9 million worldwide ($47.9 million in North America).{{cite web |publisher=Box Office Mojo |title=The Skeleton Key |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl4218521089/ |access-date=March 2, 2022}}
