Alba 'saves Hudon's blushes at premiere'

Jessica Alba reportedly stepped in to save Kate Hudson from an embarrassing red carpet faux pas on Tuesday night.

The actress was luckily on hand to hold down her co-star's dress after a rogue gust of wind threatened to expose her underwear to waiting photographers at the premiere of The Killer Inside Me.

According to the Daily Mail, the pair were promoting the movie's release at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, although Hudson was nearly left red-faced after her black dress was suddenly whipped up into the air.

However, Alba swiftly intervened to save embarrassment - grabbing Hudson's hemline and keeping it in place, as the pair laughed off the incident.
