Just 'celebrating caviar'! Kate Hudson and Courteney Cox enjoy girls' night out with fun-loving pals

Kate Hudson sure loves a party.

And when that party involves 'celebrating caviar,' what's not to like?

The blonde actress joined a group of her fun-loving pals - including Courteney Cox, Tobey Maguire's wife Jennifer Meyer and her sisters - at the home of Absolute Elyx CEO Jonas Tahlin for a shindig on Thursday.

Dressed to impress in a black vest top and trousers, her blonde hair blow-dried into a sleek style, Kate seemed as always to be at the centre of the fun.

She and her close group of girlfriends smiled for the cameras as they snapped selfies at the private Hollywood home.

Whitney Port and sisters Sara and Erin Foster were also in attendance.

The bash was in honour of Roe Caviar, and the guests made sure to plug the pricey brand in all their social media updates - of which, predictably, there were many.

'Celebrating @roecaviar @sjmeyer02 @conceptarts @katehudson @sarafoster @erinfoster @absolutelyx,' wrote jewelry designer Jennifer, in a post which Kate retweeted.

Having spent the afternoon trying on sunglasses, and Snapchatting the results to her fans, Kate settled for sharing a video of her cocktail, served in a coconut shell with a sparkler in the lid.

Meanwhile when not on the party circuit, mother-of-two Kate has been busy promoting her new movie Deepwater Horizon.

In an interview while plugging the film last month the 37-year-old spoke about 'forgiving' her father Bill Hudson for abandoning her and brother Oliver.

She insists she bears no ill will towards Hudson - who publicly disowned her and Oliver last year.

She said: '[His] issues ... are just something that he has to live with, and that must be painful for him. I forgive him.

'[There'll always be an] inability for me to understand my father.

'Forgiveness in any aspect of something that is complex is the greatest tool.'

And though the Almost Famous star is 'sad' that she has no relationship with her biological father, she claims their division has made her a stronger person.

Asked by DJ Howard Stern if she speaks to Bill, she said: 'I don't. It is very sad... I have a very thick skin because of it.'

And Kate - who has sons Ryder, 12, with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and Bingham, five, with former fiance Matt Bellamy - is thankful to have had her mother Goldie Hawn's long-term partner Kurt Russell in her life for the last 33 years.

She said: 'When you have a father like Kurt, who has been there for the hard stuff. 

'He's not a perfect man. But the trust that I got from him in terms of his dependability was priceless for me.'
