Kate Hudson is an extremely talented woman that comes from a family full of talented individuals. She is best known for her work as an actress but also has her own fitness brand, proving that she is also a great businesswoman. On top of that, Hudson has earned countless awards and is continuing to make her mark in the entertainment industry.

Hudson was born on Apr. 19, 1979, in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of the legendary actress Goldie Hawn and actor Bill Hudson. 

With such famous parents, Hudson followed their Hollywood career path. Hudson made her film debut in 1998 with the drama "Desert Blue," followed by plenty of supporting roles in the following years. It wasn't long before she began landing roles that helped make her the leading actress she is today, including films such as "Almost Famous," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "You, Me and Dupree," and "Bride Wars." It's clear that Hudson has a knack for comedy, especially romantic comedies, as she is hilariously charming and witty. She also has a popular athleisure brand "Fabletics."

Nowadays, Hudson is still busy working in the entertainment industry but is also busy raising her three children. With a lot going on, the actress and businesswoman still has time to hop on social media to promote movies, businesses, and her life. Hudson has nearly 15 million Instagram followers and gives them quite the show. She gives an accurate and real picture of her life on and away from the big screen. 

A lot of women can relate to Hudson. Despite her being very famous, she has been honest about her work and family life balance. 

In 2019 she told Grazia, "I wish there was a perfect balance. 'The truth is, there's not. I just take it day by day, you know?" She added, "I just started to check in every day. Am I OK? Burning the candle at both ends, spending enough time with my, you know, 3,000 children. We're all doing the best we can, you know?" 

In 2022 Hudson shared with Allure that her beauty routines have changed over the years. 

"Oh, God. It changes, doesn't it, [as] you get older? Beauty. That word. It's such an important word because I'm a believer that it starts with what you eat and how you take care of yourself and how you sleep. For me, beauty is about how we feel. What are we doing in our lives that make us feel good? And then it emanates," she said. 

Having been on endless movie sets and red carpets, the star has had a fair share of the glitz and glam that comes with her career. These days she said she is going for a more simple look. 

"I'm really simple. I thought that as I got older my skin would be able to take more. And, in fact, my skin is sensitive. The less I use the better," Hudson shared. She revealed to Allure that her beauty rituals are some of her favorite times of the day. "Self-care is a million different things to me, but at the same time, for me personally, I love my beauty routines. It's kind of the one time I have to myself in my bathroom."

Often using the "no filter" look on her social media pages, Hudson is proud of how she looks for her age. In her book "Pretty Happy" she shared that feeling good from the inside is what brings out radiant confidence.

"When you understand yourself and connect to how you can become body smart, you realize pretty quickly that the perfect, the ideal, is not the goal. Instead, [it is] feeling good in your body. That's what leads to confidence, to feeling and looking fit, and being pretty happy." 

Happiness, confidence, and wiseness— Hudson is exuding her best self to the world. Between running multiple businesses, raising her family, and still working on herself—she said that happiness is a journey.

"The irony," she wrote, "is that when we take care of ourselves first, we are in a much stronger place to take care of those we love." 

Besides promoting products that she created as well as sponsored products, Hudson also promotes beauty tips and tricks that anyone can follow. The best part about them is they are free. 

"Drink water and get sleep! Whenever my skin is not feeling great, it's usually because I'm dehydrated. And it really won't matter what you put on your skin if you're not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep," she said to Byrdie.

The star isn't just sharing and posting about her beauty journey, she's encouraging other women on theirs too.

"I got to be honest, I love seeing it all. I love when women are made up. I love when they're makeup-free. I think there are some people who like that sort of natural vibe and some people who are like, 'Let's go.' And I'm a little bit of both," she told Allure.
