KATE HUDSON BRITISH ‘ELLE’ MARCH 2008

Kate Hudson is the cover girl for Elle's UK March 2008 issue.

Kate on Style Icons: “A style icon are women who remain true to a signature style, like Anita Pallenberg, Bianca Jagger - and of course my mum Goldie Hawn. I like people to have personal style.”

Kate on her signature look: “I’m not into the trampy look. I like to mis-match. I like a look that is not too thought out. I plan to wear as little as possible for as long as I can. I know I won’t have this body forever, she says. and I would like to have another child some day.”

Kate on staying in shape: “I’ve always been a dancer. I took ballet from the age of three to 13, then got into jazz dance. Now I have a dance instructor several times a week and I do Pilates.”

Kate on her image: “If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year, it’s not to think too much about my image. I don’t dress for anyone but me and the people I love.”

Kate on what she will be wearing this spring: “Right now I’m in love with colour! Particularly purple. I just bought a purple Dolce sweater. The other colour I love for spring is cobalt blue. And that peachy skin-tone colour.”
