Kate Hudson: I ‘can’t afford’ designer duds

Is this the biggest lie a celebrity has ever told?

Kate Hudson has claimed in a recent interview that she doesn’t lead a glamorous lifestyle and “can’t afford” to buy designer clothes.

The Hollywood heavyweight graces the cover of the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar and told the magazine that she doesn’t own a red carpet wardrobe and all of her couture dresses are borrowed.

“People think we own all these dresses,” she tells the mag. “But we borrow them! I can’t afford to buy that stuff. There are certain things I splurge on, but it’s very rare, especially when you have two kids and school tuition.

“I’m not a big high-end fashion shopper. I wish I could but the truth is things are just so expensive. Before Isabel Marant was a million dollars and famous, I used to go to her store in Paris and go crazy, it was so affordable.”

The 34-year-old actress is reportedly worth a whopping $38 million, lives in a $5.3 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades, and apparently raked in $7 million for her 2009 film “Bride Wars.”

But Hudson credits her mother Goldie Hawn for her frugal approach to spending.

“My mom wasn’t a big shopper for us,” the star added. “I think they wanted to instill that in us even though we grew up in a really privileged and lucky lifestyle.”

Hudson, who has nine-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and two-year-old son Bing with fiance Matthew Bellamy, is currently planning her wedding to the Muse frontman.

We wonder if she will splash out on her wedding dress.
