Kate wowed photographers, fans and colleagues in her amazing white Emilio Pucci gown. From the front, you can’t really see anything that is all that interesting. You might be able to catch a hint of the sparkly silver inserts along the sides but otherwise, nothing all that special. Yes, the gown is form fitting, but it isn’t until Kate turns around that you see the drama that I am talking about. This backless dress is absolutely stunning. While Kate is very slim, she is also rather athletic so her back looks amazing. I also love the jewel that hangs down the middle of her back. Kate’s look is 100% knock-out.

Kate looks stunning in her white Marchesa strapless silk crepe gown. The top of the gown is a bit too over the top for me, but it looks like Kate was willing to take a shot and it might actually have worked for her. With the top of her gown being so out there and noticeable, I am glad that she opted for minimal jewels. Certainly they are shinny, but not overwhelming. And finally, Kate chose Casadei’s Signature 3504 triple platform pumps to slip on.

Kate was recently spotted wearing virtually a summer dress, UGG boots and carrying a gorgeous exotic handbag. It looks as though this Bird Handbag Python Lady is Kate’s go to bag when she is in LA. She’s been spotted carrying this same bag before while wearing a different summer dress. I love this handbag though. I want one of my own! Perhaps when Kate’s done with it, she’ll let me use it for a while.

It’s not that Kate can’t pull off the sophisticated look, I mean, check her out in these pictures. Other than on the red carpet, I can’t remember the last time that I saw Kate look so, so, so… grown up. I wonder if A-Rod has anything to do with this change.

The black and blue combo is slowly starting to grow on me. I wasn’t always a fan of it because it sort of reminds me of a bruise. However, Kate looks simply stunning with her blue suit, black shirt, shoes and sunnies. Kate paired her outfit with two Jack Vartanian pieces, the white gold fringe necklace and the aqua marine ring. I actually love her clutch and while I can’t decide exactly what it is, I am leaning towards Judith Leiber. So, which Kate do you prefer: bohemian or sophisticated?

Anyway, what do you think his new main squeeze Kate Hudson thinks about those paintings? She’s dated lots of famous men before, and a lot of famous men are egomaniacs, so maybe she wasn’t surprised by it? Maybe it’s par for the celeb dating course? Hard to say. But if his World Series performance is any indication, maybe he should keep her around. And I definitely think she should keep her Stella McCartney Chain-Detail Tote around – not only is it beautiful and trendy, but it’s also completely free of animal products.

However, here we see her carrying a Alexander McQueen Faithful Tote, a bag that we talked about previously on PurseBlog as one of the key pieces for fall’s trends. Well played, Kate. Although she doesn’t look particularly pleased to be carrying it here. If you’re not sure if you like it, hun, give it to me! I’ll be happy to wear it every day with a smile. Also, I’d be willing to take A-Rod off your hands, as long as he promises not to talk much. So, m’dear, do we have a deal?

But one thing that does scream boho sophisticate is her Bird Handbag Python Lady. We’ve featured the Lady on PurseBlog; Kate Hudson and Megs both have the same Bird Handbags Ostrich Lady in Cognac. So it seems that these Bird Ladies are catching. Buy one, must buy another. They certainly do look awesome, with that uncultivated and careless look of a bag that is just too cool to care (yes, I did just infer that bags have feelings. Ah, well). Or let’s just take that to mean the owner is too cool.

And everything about Kate’s outfit kind of suggests that. White lacy dress? Check. Tan boots? Check. Coffee cup? That’s right. When you have this kind of bohemian style, or are getting back in the groove, this is what you wake up and throw on. Cue applause.

That’s why I was pretty surprised to see Kate in this picture. Her outfit is pretty normal, to say the least. Leggings, a sleeveless sweater, and a pair of Havaianas sandals. That, plus her gigantic zig-zag canvas tote that is quite organic-looking. That tote is the only touch of the Kate Hudson careless, happy style I know and wish I could replicate. Well, the tote, the jumble of bracelets on her wrist, and her delicate gold teardrop hoop earrings.

Now the first thing that came to mind when I saw this picture is: I know that bag. It looks like a bag a saw on Shopbop, but it’s not there and I can’t recall what it is. Can you ID it?

Hilary Duff and Kate Hudson have both been spotted around town carrying the CC Skye Blake Bag. While both of these celebs have their own individual look, I love to see that they have both found the same great bag. I’ve mentioned before that I am a Hilary Duff fan, so you probably aren’t surprised to hear that I wish I could snag her entire look here. Plus, I love to see that she is “normal”; check out the groceries in her cart.

Then there is Kate. Seen here running out of what seems like a restaurant with a CC Skye Blake Bag on her shoulder and Fergie by the hand. Not a bad night. One thing that is kind of bad – her dress. It reminds me of b-day wrapping paper. Needless to say, not for me.

Anyway, bag. I didn’t recognize the bag at first either, even though I must have scrolled past it a million times on various websites. It’s a Dolce & Gabanna Miss Martini Mini Messenger in bronze snakeskin, and apparently when they say ‘mini messenger,’ they actually mean ’shoulder bag.’ Because that’s what this is. I love the maxi dress that she’s wearing here, and apparently she’s late to wherever shes wearing it to – if she makes the next turn any faster, I think the little one in the white suit might do a face-plant.
