Kate Hudson [1] may have recently welcomed her third child [2], but she's not done learning a thing or two about parenting. The actress recently spoke with AOL while promoting her fairly new partnership with WW [3] and opened up about what it's been like to raise her daughter, Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, after previously raising two sons [4]. (Kate's first child, Ryder Russell Robinson, is now 15 years old, and she also has a 7-year-old, Bingham Hawn Bellamy.)
"It doesn't really change my approach, but there's definitely a difference," Kate said in the interview [5]. While Kate feels as though Rani has a pretty "feminine" personality so far, she tends to gravitate toward a "genderless" parenting approach. "I think you just raise your kids individually regardless," Kate said. "We still don't know what she's going to identify as. I will say that, right now, she is incredibly feminine in her energy, her sounds, and her way."

That being said, Kate said shopping for her daughter has offered a different experience. "It's very different from the boys, and it's really fun to actually want to buy kids' clothes. With the boys it was just like onesies . . . actually, I did pretty good with the boys," she joked. "But with her it's a whole other ball game. There's some stuff that I'm like, 'I can't do that to her, because it's so over-the-top.'"
Speaking of "over-the-top" children's clothing, Kate did dress Rani up in a bold, bright red onesie [9] with some floral ruching over the holidays, which she said was partially inspired by witnessing Bob Mackie design for her mother, Goldie Hawn [10], as she was growing up. "I have a bit of an affinity for the embellished and sequinned," Kate wrote on Instagram. Hey, everything in moderation.
