Hippie fashion heroine Kate Hudson has shared her style secrets and revealed 'comfort is key' when it comes to choosing a look
Having grown up with a wardrobe of crochet crop tops, faux fur coats, suede mini-skirts and peasant tops, Kate's insouciant, laid-back look has won her a host of fans.
Mother-of-two Kate, who split from Muse frontman Matt Bellamy in December, added that while her style has matured over the years, she still opts for the same kind of stuff.
‘I would say that my style sort of depends on my mood, but comfort is definitely the common denominator,’ she said, ‘which means a lot of pieces that are flowy and light.
'I’ve always been attracted to the 1970s look — sexy, with a lot of freedom in the overall aesthetic.’

Fashion week regular Kate looks to Kate Moss, Julie Christie, Anita Pallenberg and Cher for inspiration — strong females who have a clear sense of self.
‘For me, authenticity is something I really struggle with. I feel like I’m letting people down if I’m trying to conform to what others think I should be,’ she said.
‘To be authentic and truthful is truly the most important thing for me. It can be scary because not everyone will like your truth, but I find when I’m in that space I’m a lot happier in my life and I feel less pressure.'
Blonde bombshell Kate fell in love with fashion when she was a little girl and she accompanied her famous mother, Goldie Hawn, to a fitting with celebrity American designer Bob Mackie.
‘We were in his studio and there was fabric and sequins everywhere,’ she said. ‘I was in awe; it was like being in a fashion dream. I remember he made me a package of little sequin bow pins, all in different colours. There were about ten bows in the package and it was a moment I will never forget because I was so excited.’

Kate's autumn/winter 2015 campaign for Jimmy Choo is groomed and nods to the free-spirited era she adores.
The collection is inspired by ballet, a subject that holds a special resonance for the actress, who says she ‘grew up dancing’.
‘My mum put me in dance classes when I was three and I did ballet up until 12 before she allowed me to take more types of dance, like lyrical,’ she said.
‘I wasn’t allowed to skip class; I just knew I had to go. If you have that kind of discipline as a kid, it translates to everything. Dancing really connected me to my body in terms of understanding what my body needs.'
To ensure she feels as good on the inside as she looks out, Kate has adopted a healthy lifestyle and has cut out sugar
‘The beautiful thing about dance is you have this intense discipline and once you have that foundation, you can feel free and let go,' said Kate
Dancing also helped prepare the Oscar-nominated actress for her career on the big screen, too.
‘The beautiful thing about dance is you have this intense discipline and once you have that foundation, you can feel free and let go,' she said.
'It applies to everything, even acting — you rehearse and get connected to the character in order to let go and get inside that person.’
And, to ensure she feels as good on the inside as she looks out, Kate has adopted a healthy lifestyle.
'I would say cutting sugar, or at least being aware of how much you are ingesting in a day and limiting it,' she said. 'That was an eye opener for me, I realized I was craving it like an addict around 4pm every day. I would crave something sweet and it hit me how much sugar we really eat.'
