Kate Hudson shows off her incredible figure in a series of stylish bikinis as she shares snaps from lavish 'girl's trip' to Europe
The actress, 46, has spent the first part of her summer galivanting on star-studded yachts in Ibiza, Greece and Italy alongside the like of Dakota Johnson, Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara.
She was also joined by her daughter Rani Rose, six, as well as son Bingham, 13, from her previous relationship with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy on the vacation.
In one snap on board the yacht she flaunted her toned abs in a brown bikini and gingham sarong as she posed with her daughter and her stylist pal Sophie Lopez.
Another snap saw her enjoying a sunny lunch in a white bikini and crochet cover up while accessorising with a bandana in her hair.
She was also seen relaxing on a sunbed with Sophie as they both topped up their tans.
Kate also shares son Ryder, 21, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson, who she was married to from 2000 until 2006, before their divorce was finalised in 2007.
Kate and her partner Danny Fujikawa have been engaged for three years after he proposed to her just ahead of their five-year dating anniversary.
The pair had been close friends for many years before meeting through Fujikawa's stepsisters.
Kate previously revealed she finds the 'feeling of failure' the hardest part about walking away from a relationship as she opened up about her past romances.
Appearing on Elizabeth Day's podcast How To Fail, the American actress spoke candidly about how hard she has found it in the past to let go of a relationship as she admitted her therapist told her she had to stop dating men.
The star admitted: 'The hardest part about walking away from relationships is the feeling of failure. One hundred percent.
'So for me, that was the hardest thing, it's letting go of the fact that it feels like a failure, or I couldn't make something work, or I couldn't fix something.
'I think sometimes it's like you're trying to fit a square peg in the round hole and it's just never going to happen.'
Explaining how she has grown to realise that sometimes people are just not meant to be she added: 'Then you realise as it heals, "Oh, this isn't the failure, this was exactly what needed to happen."
'Because if you look back and you're like, "uh oh, what did I do? Why couldn't I do that? Why couldn't I give that person what they needed?" Then you have to do some real reflecting and really go figure out what that is.'
Revealing her therapist advised her to stop dating men for a year prior to meeting Danny, she admitted by the end she 'couldn't care less about who was texting me.'
Kate went a year without men as she explained: 'I took boys out of the equation and had to just go through this process of feeling very uncomfortable with not having any connection to anything that could ignite my dopamine, my flirtatious.'
Using the time she was single to work on herself, she admitted: 'Then it was like I hit something, I hit this core of an issue for myself.
'I had [an] almost like childhood cry and it was like a weight had been lifted off of me and honestly, from that point on, I couldn't care less about who was texting me.
'My life became so happy alone. I felt very connected to what I wanted to do, my daily routine with my kids, my cozy time.
'I didn't care about putting anything on and so when then I went back into the dating world, my relationship to dating completely changed.'

Sting's daughter's extravagant three-day wedding in Sicily - including family performances and emotional father-of-the-bride speech
Rock legend Sting's daughter Fuchsia Kate Sumner married her long-time partner Max Wright in a glamorous three-day celebration in the Sicilian town of Noto at the weekend. The festivities included a speech from the famous father of the bride that brought guests to tears - and a narrowly avoided wardrobe disaster on the day of the ceremony. The 43-year-old actress and director, who goes by 'Kate', tied the knot with Max, a creative director in the arts and tech space, in front of family and close friends. Kate has described it as 'the most fun three days of our lives.' The bonanza kicked off last Friday in Noto - one of the filming locations for White Lotus season 2 - with celebrations unfolding at some of the city's most iconic venues. Family in attendance included Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, and Kate's older brother, musician Joe Sumner, 48, who at one point treated guests to live performances on his guitar. Kate, whose mother is Sting's first wife, the Northern Irish actress Frances Tomelty, was also joined by her half-siblings who are Sting's children with second wife Trudie. They include actress Mickey, 41 - the maid of honour - musician and actor Eliot, 34, filmmaker Jake, 40, and actor Giacomo, 29. On day one, guests enjoyed a street party complete with an Italian marching band and tucked into local fare including freshly baked Italian breads and aperitivo. In the evening, they attended a special performance of Una Serenata! - 'A Serenade' in Italian - at the Teatro Comunale Tina di Lorenzo to celebrate local Sicilian traditions. Kate wore a white lace mermaid gown by Maison Valentino with a high neck and open back, while Max opted for a terracotta shirt and trousers. The next day brought the main event - but not without a near wardrobe disaster. For one of his outfits, Max realised the only shoelaces he had for his £720 beige Prada shoes were black. With no white laces to hand, a quick-thinking guest - American fashion stylist Erica Cloud - improvised by pulling the string from a shoe bag and threading it through his shoes. Crisis averted, the wedding ceremony took place and was held outdoors against a crimson and ivory floral backdrop. Kate wore a beautiful off-the-shoulder embroidered tulle gown with her initials embroidered on, while Max donned a light grey suit. After they exchanged vows, green and pink smoke flares shot up into the sky as they had their first kiss as husband and wife. The newlyweds then walked through the city with a beaming Kate holding their smartly dressed one-year-old son. At the reception, Sting delivered a show-stopping speech that was both heartfelt and hilarious. He joked about his early impressions of Max, unsure of what to make of the man after his daughter's heart, but quickly realised he was, in fact, 'a lovely chap'. Guests were in stitches but also, at times, in tears as the music icon described how happy he was for his daughter to have found the love of her life. Sister Mickey, who was joined by her new fiance Carter B Smith and her son from her previous marriage to tech CEO Chris Kantrowitz, also gave a speech during the reception - referring to Kate as 'the most beautiful bride'. Kate later described it as 'the best speech ever.' Her sibling Eliot, whose string of roles in Hollywood films include a security guard in the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, was joined by their glamorous girlfriend, Mollie Davis. Eliot, who is non-binary, started dating the divorced mother-of-two last year after splitting from British aristocratic model Frankie Herbert, granddaughter of the 7th Earl of Carnarvon. Other guests included British film director Charlotte Colbert and her artist husband Philip Colbert, DJ Mia Moretti - who played a late-night set - and music label boss Henri Behrmann. The dinner, which took place at Dimora delle Balze - the same venue that hosted Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni and Fedez's 2018 wedding - was laid out on candlelit banquet tables. Guests dined on pasta, ciabatta, fresh fish, lobster and vegetables and toasted the couple underneath elegant fairy lights. After dinner, they danced late into the night to a soundtrack of Stevie Wonder classics including I Wish and disco favourites. Day three saw guests enjoy a final day of celebration, starting with 'a master blaster BBQ' to help cure hangovers from the night before. It featured a multi-layered barbeque station with chicken, fresh fruit and vegetables. Noto Mayor Corrado Figura blessed the festivities, meeting Sting on his arrival in the historic centre. He posed for a photo with the star, writing on social media: 'It was a great honour to welcome Sting, a global music icon, to the wedding of his daughter Fuschia Katherine Sumner and her partner Maximillian Wright, right here in the heart of Sicilian Baroque.' The mayor presented Sting with a book dedicated to Noto, calling it 'a small gift to thank him for sharing such an important moment for his family with us.' He added: 'Thank you to Fuschia, Maximillian and Sting for choosing Noto. Our city is proud to be part of this wonderful love story.' Kate and Max announced their engagement two years ago and Kate threw her hen party last month - where she and her pals tucked into fried chicken and danced around in wigs. Friends describe Max as 'low-key, charming and utterly devoted' - a sentiment echoed in speeches throughout the wedding weekend.

Vogue Williams stuns in a black and white bikini as she strips off on holiday with husband Spencer
VOGUE Williams looked incredible as she stripped off to a black and white bikini on holiday with husband Spencer Matthews. The 39-year-old and husband Spencer, 36, jetted to Spain with their three children Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and two-year-old Otto. 4 4 She and former Made In Chelsea star Spencer looked loved-up as they took a dip in the sea, with Vogue flaunting her enviable body.

She and Spencer tied the knot in 2018 after meeting on Channel 4 show The Jump and Vogue recently confessed she initially didn't think he was her type. Speaking to The Sun, Vogue said: 'I kind of met him with a preconceived idea, and I was like, 'I'm not going to like him' because I thought he was a sociopath. "But after I met him, I loved his personality straight away . . . 'He was so sound, but I was really good at being single and I wanted to stay single, so I thought, 'He's going to be a really good friend' — that's the first thing I thought.' She and Spencer are now hoping to spend more time near her home town of Howth, Dublin, in a house the couple bought last year. Vogue calls it their 'forever home', and they have put their apartment overlooking the River Thames up for sale, too. Vogue Williams throws lavish birthday party for young daughter They first listed it a year ago and have recently slashed the price by £1.3million to £3.9million. Vogue says: 'I like to take the kids home as much as I can — I want them to have friends in Ireland, so that they always want to go back, and they enjoy spending time there." 4
