Congratulating Kate

Style Shout Out to Kate Hudson on her new movie, her new baby on the way...and her new engagement.

Watching the Today Show the big news of the week is the marriage of Kate Middleton to Prince William.  With the wedding this Friday this is, and has been, the big story.  But today there was also another big story about Kate...Kate Hudson who was on the Today Show to talk about her new movie Something Borrowed.

I am a big fan of Kate Hudson and I also happen to be a big fan of her Mom, Goldie Hawn. These actresses are so genuine and possess an amazing gift for comedy.

As I was watching Kate Hudson this morning being interviewed by Matt Lauer he opened by congratulating her on her pregnancy.  As always, Kate was gracious while talking about how she doesn't know if the baby is a boy or girl and how it is fun not knowing.  She talked about doing the pendulum test which Matt described as being "very scientific"and how she thinks that the baby will be a girl. With her hands resting on her belly Kate talked about how she refers to the baby as "she" and that how she feels like she is carrying differently this time.  I loved it when Kate referred to the baby as having the "Hawn gene" as a reference to her Mom Goldie who is so bubbly and exuberant.  She said she feels like the baby is dancing every day.

At that point Matt asked, "Could you place your hand in my hand for a second please...is this new?"

"This is new," she replied,

"You're engaged!" To which Kate replied, "I'm engaged."

Kate talked about how she was just waiting for someone to notice because "the announcing thing feels so silly."

Matt wrapped up the interview by saying, "Congratulations on all your good fortune."  And I couldn't agree more.



My Style Shout Out Tip:  Be yourself!  Over the years I have seen Kate Hudson in many interviews.  The common thread that weaves them all together is the fact that she is so natural and she is always herself.  You get the feeling that Kate, like her Mom Goldie, is a woman who knows who she is and has a strong sense of self.  So today if you are out doing some Spring shopping remember that while it's fun to draw inspiration from others it is always better to be yourself.
