Kate Hudson: Fashion Celebrity Guide

Kate Garry Hudson (born April 19, 1979) is an American actress. Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Academy Award–winning actress Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson, an actor, comedian, and musician.  Her parents divorced eighteen months after her birth; she and her brother, actor Oliver Hudson, were raised in Snowmass, Colorado by her mother and her mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell.  She came to prominence in 2001 after winning a Golden Globe and receiving several nominations, including a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in Almost Famous. She then starred in the hit film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) which gained her wider fame. She has since established herself in Hollywood after starring in several productions including Raising Helen (2004, The Skeleton Key (2005), You, Me and Dupree (2006), Fool's Gold (2008) and Bride Wars (2009). She also appeared in the musical comedy-drama television series Glee as Cassandra July. 

JustFab Inc. Co-CEOs, Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg, launched Fabletics with Kate Hudson after they saw a gap in the activewear marketplace: there were plenty of luxury brands, but none that offered stylish and high quality gear at an accessible price point. These three unstoppable innovators joined forces to create the Fabletics brand in 2013. Fabletics offers affordable, high quality and stylish workout clothes for women & men. Shop yoga pants, leggings, joggers, tops, tees and more for any fitness level.  

Romantic Comedy Lead, Activewear Founder

Hudson's profile pairs two kinds of fashion celebrity. The first is the screen version: Raising Helen, The Skeleton Key, You, Me and Dupree, Fool's Gold and Bride Wars after the Almost Famous breakthrough, plus the role of Cassandra July in the television series Glee. The second is the business version, and it is the stronger fashion story — a famous wearer of workout clothes becoming a founder of the brand selling them. The Fabletics launch story is told in marketplace terms: luxury activewear existed, accessible stylish activewear did not, and the brand was built to fill that gap.

This page gathers Kate Hudson photos, videos, news and blog posts, including the 2017 Fabletics photograph carried in the text. Hudson was raised in Snowmass, Colorado by her mother and her mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell, after her parents divorced eighteen months after her birth — a show-business upbringing that makes the move from acting into a consumer brand read as a second career rather than an endorsement.
