Kate Hudson Covers 'Harper's Bazaar' October 2012

Kate Hudson is radiant in a Ralph Lauren Collection dress on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar‘s October 2012 issue, on newsstands September 25.

Here’s what the 33-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On meeting her fiance Matthew Bellamy: “He was immediately very protective and, you know, watchful. I Googled him right away! And it was shocking, ’cause he was like two completely different people. I would still tell him, ‘I look at the footage of you playing, but getting to know you, I can’t connect the dots.’

On getting married: “We’ll do it eventually, but I want it to be right. I don’t want to just do it, you know what I mean?”

On pal Gwyneth Paltrow helping her out in London: “She’s been my go-to about where to get things done�”grocery shopping, a good mani-pedi, you know, all that. I look up to Gwyneth and how she has been in her life. She’s the real deal.”
