It's been some years since Kate Hudson was an unceasing blockbuster machine. Back in her box-office heyday, our girl followed up her indie breakout Almost Famous (2000) with a stream of crowd pleasers, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003), Fool's Gold (2008), and Bride Wars (2009).

Now, the 37-year-old star has been keeping busy with other pursuits, like raising her two kids, presiding over her athleisure empire, Fabletics, and lately, posting some insanely hot shots to the 'gram.

Kate most recently lit up the internet with this short Insta vid of her and her friends wilding out in bikinis, with her taut abs racking up plenty of "likes."

This is pretty standard fare from the blonde beauty. The rest of her scintillating account is decidedly bikini and pool heavy, just how we like it.

Like many an LA-based Instagram user, she's also fond of accompanying her sun-drenched shots with feel-good acclamations and generally positive #vibez.

Kate has also been doing a bang-up job promoting her Fabletics line with some appropriately fabulous shots.

This has been a lesson in how to win 5 million followers in 10 'grams.
