Kate Hudson ushered in her 46th birthday in true style this year – she turned one special day into a week-long celebration.
The Running Point actress enjoyed a sun-filled vacation with her entire family in a luxe, undisclosed location. Kate took to Instagram to show off a few special memories from her getaway.

The 46-year-old completed her summer look with a Maison Goyard handbag – which just so happened to double as the coziest bed for her fluffy white pup.
Kate slicked back her blonde locks into an elegant updo and donned a pair of black-rimmed sunglasses. She captioned the post: "Best birthday week. Thank you for all the love."

Kate's mom, Goldie Hawn, was sitting next to her on the table along with Kate's other loved ones.

Kate's relationship with her mom
The singer shares a close bond with her mother, Goldie, and even dedicated her new song "Right on Time" to her. In an interview with Glamour, Kate opened up about the inspiration behind the song. "The story I'm telling is just these little things that she's told me about her childhood and her growth, and what her life was before she became famous," she said.

"I think we're the keepers of our parents' stories, and we get to share them with our children and we get to share them with your community. I really believe in that third-generational respect and care. But I get to do it in music and then share it with the world, which is really fun for me," she explained.
