One thing about Kate, she’s a natural for the cameras. You’ll seldom find a bad snap of the gorgeous actress, especially when she’s walking the red carpet.

Model Kate can easily flaunt her ageless beauty the second she steps into a bikini.
She clapped back at trolls who claimed she was “too old” to be posing in teeny bikinis, reportedly replying: “I don’t know who has made you feel that if you get older you have no value, can’t be attractive or sexy or have a relationship with your body that isn’t only self loathing,” she wrote.
“But as one female to another, don’t let any of that noise bother you,” she concluded.
Glitter goddess
Kate is no stranger to Instagram, using her platform to share glamourous snaps from the comfort of her seemingly luxurious home.
Dressed in a breath-taking golden glitter mini dress, Kate channelled her inner Beyoncé, placing her hands on her hips, posing sassily.
Showing she’s a stylish wonder, Kate paired the dress with sky high gold pumps, dangly earrings and a roughed up, chic ponytail.

A sex symbol in her own right, Kate loves an at-home photoshoot. Even though the image is as sultry as ever, her random smiley painted nails and Dot Brown skirt prove the model and Hollywood actress is not all serious.
Her Instagram reflects this as Kate posts personal funny moments with her 5.4 million followers, like her cat’s thoughts on her recent manicure or her bump-in with a friendly fox.
