Despite the fact that she's one of the most successful actresses in the world, Kate Hudson has admitted that she can't afford to buy designer dresses.

The actress speaks out about her fashion choices in the December/January issue of America's Harper's Bazaar, which is released on newsstands November 26.

In an interview with Harper magazine, she said: "People think we own all these dresses, 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."

Hudson is mum to nine-year-old son, Ryder, from her marriage to first husband Chris Robinson and she and fiancé Matthew Bellamy are parents to two-year-old boy Bingham.

She added: "I'm not a big high-end fashion shopper. I wish I could, but the truth is, things are just so expensive.

"Before [designer] Isabel Marant was a million dollars and famous, I used to go to her store in Paris and go crazy, it was so affordable."

Her mum, Goldie Hawn can take some of the credit with helping her spend her money wisely. "My mum wasn't a big shopper for us.

"I think [she] wanted to instill that in us even though we grew up in a really privileged and lucky lifestyle."

The 34-year-old added that exercise plays an important role in her life: "It really is a vital part of my day in terms of energy.

"And I mean just by putting a sports bra on. Then maybe you'll do something! Even if it's a few squats in the backyard and back to the couch."
