Kate Hudson stuns in ads for the ballet-inspired Autumn/Winter 2015 Jimmy Choo shoe collection. The 36-year-old actress who has previously modeled for Ann Taylor reveals her connection to the latest footwear campaign. “I grew up dancing,” Hudson says. “My mom [Goldie Hawn] put me in dance classes since I was three years old and I did ballet up until 12 before she allowed me to take more types of dance, like lyrical. I wasn’t allowed to skip class, I just knew I had to go. If you have that kind of discipline as a kid it sort of translates to everything. Dancing really connected me to my body in terms of understanding what my body needs.”

Kate added about her fashion sense: “I would say that my style sort of depends on my mood, but comfort is definitely the common denominator, which means a lot of pieces that are flowy and light.” She added, “I’ve always been attracted to the ‘70s – sexy, with a lot of freedom in the overall aesthetic. My fashion icons are Julie Christie, Anita Pallenberg, Kate Moss, and Cher.”
