The clothes in this movie aren't really anything special. So why dedicate an entire post to them? Honestly, it's more of the attitude that Kate Hudson has wearing them playing Matthew McConaughey's ex-wife (then wife again) Tess in Fool's Gold. Actually, this movie isn't even all that great but it's probably one of the better cheesy romantic comedies out there. The movie brings back the team of Hudson and McConaughey after How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, as an ex couple running around the Bahamas (actually filmed in Australia) trying to find lost treasures from a Spanish ship. The scenery in this is impeccable. If you don't want to jet off to the Bahamas or Australia for that matter, then I feel sorry for you. I really do.
Back to the clothes: seeing as the Bahamas are hot and humid, Kate's wardrobe in this is full of light and airy dresses, board shorts and plenty of spaghetti straps. She wears cool colors like that beautiful plum, some heather greys, tans and light blues. But what's really wonderful about it all is how easy and effortless it all is. And let's face it, we're all obsessed with how effortless one can make an outfit look. Part of it is because of the effortless sun child personality of Kate Hudson. No matter what character she's playing it always seems to come out and I love her for it.
The functionality of her wardrobe is also so desirable. Chic every day essential necklace in the shape of a palm tree? Check. Waterproof watch? Check. Easy aviators? Check. I don't know about you but if I'm running around island hopping, I want to be comfortable in what I'm wearing: easy dresses over bikinis, a simple black bikini that's modest and a cloth headband for soaking up sweat and keeping your face awake and sunny.
