Kate Hudson keeps it simple in statement T-shirt as she shows off her playful side by hula-hooping at London toy store with son Bingham

Kate Hudson ensured she took advantage of rising summer temperatures on Thursday afternoon during a day out in London with her loved ones.

The American actress was joined by her youngest son, five-year old Bingham, and a small gathering of friends for a stroll through the city’s leafy Notting Hill.

Kate, 37, looked typically stylish in frayed jeans and a seventies themed T-shirt emblazoned with the philosophical message ‘You Just Gotta Keep Living Man!’

With the British summer in full swing the actress completed her look with a pair of simple flip-flops, while heavily tinted sunglasses rounded things off.

Meanwhile Bingham – Kate’s son with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy – sported a Marvel Avengers T-shirt decorated with images of Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man.

Mingling with passers-by Kate later paused to admire a fellow pedestrian’s fluffy pet dog, and she was seen crouching to give the puppy a friendly stroke as Bingham and a female friend looked on.

With spirits raised the actress – also a parent to 12-year old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson - later showed off her fun side during a trip to a local toy store. 

Grabbing a large hoop, Kate made a game attempt at hula-hooping - but her efforts appeared to fare less well than her acting. 

Indeed, the star prompted perplexed stares from passers-by as she attempted to show off her skills with the hoop while standing in the shop doorway.
