I did an interview last week during which the reporter asked me who my “celebrity style icon” was, and I was sort of flummoxed. I even almost automatically blurted out “Audrey Hepburn” just because she seems to be the de facto “style icon” who people mention in interviews, even though there are probably few celebrities on the planet whose style resembles mine less.
I do not do ballet flats and pearls particularly well, nor am I pixieishly adorable. C’est la vie.
So I free-associated for a minute, thinking about which red carpet dresses pop instantly into my mind as all-time favorites, and came up with Cate Blanchett’s 1999 John Galliano, Cameron Diaz’s 2002 Ungaro, Michelle Williams’ 2006 Vera Wang, Kate Hudson in that white dress, Kate Hudson in that gold dress, Kate Hudson in that flowery Valentino she wore to the Oscars that one time, and Kate Hudson every time she’s ever appeared on The Late Show. Or anywhere, generally.
So: Kate Hudson it was.
I already knew that Kate Hudson was the face of Ann Taylor, but even better: she recently designed a capsule collection for the brand.
And it’s beautiful.
(Kendrick made me do the peace sign thing.)
On me: Blouse, necklace and heels from the Kate Hudson Capsule Collection for Ann Taylor; Ann Taylor clutch and nail polish; Sophia Forero ruby ring; sunglasses and jeans via T.J. Maxx.
The Kate Hudson Capsule Collection will be available in Ann Taylor stores beginning May 20, 2013.
