Kate Hudson isn’t one to play favorites when it comes to fashion. When Nylon asked the actress which Italian label gets her top pick, she was hard-pressed to choose: “Oh, that’s hard. I mean Valentino’s Valentino, you know? He’s an icon. But I love Giambattista Valli,” she says, before adding, “But honestly, I love all clothes so much. It’s the best part of the morning, getting dressed.” Her enthusiasm also extends to iconic American designer Bob Mackie, who outfitted her mom, Goldie Hawn, and recalls times spent in his studio surrounded by “all these beads and sequins,” and says, “It was amazing to watch him build clothing around my mother. A great designer knows how to make a woman’s body look great, not hide it.” Hudson also acknowledges her penchant for feminine frills (“I love, like, a big ruffle here and there,”) but refuses to limit herself to any one look: “I just put on what I feel like. Some days I feel really girly, but sometimes I feel masculine. Today I just woke up and was like ‘I want to wear a suit.’ It’s Bottega Venetta, by the way.” For more of Kate’s fashion commentary go to nylonmag.com. –Emily Hsieh
