The rockstar life definitely suits Kate Hudson.
Though the How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days actress has spent most of her career working in movies, last year, she pivoted to music after years of teasing she would, with the release of her debut album, Glorious.
She has since embarked on a string of intimate performances, her latest one in her hometown of Los Angeles.
Following the recent concert, at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, Kate took to Instagram and shared a round of photos, including of her sultry, very rockstar-esque outfit.
For the show, she channeled her legendary Penny Lane character from Almost Famous, and wore leather micro-shorts paired with a mesh, bustier-like bodysuit, thigh-high boots, and a silky, floral jacket.
Photos from the night see her getting ready in her dressing room, singing on stage, and the crowd singing along.

Is that you?" as others followed suit with: "You look amazing! Can't wait for Song Sung Blue to come out girl!" referring to her forthcoming movie with Hugh Jackman, and: "LOVE everything about this. Exuding that energy of love and power," as well as: "Such an amazing show! Can't wait for the next one!"
After her gig at the Roxy, Kate then headed to Napa Valley to perform at the music festival BottleRock, which also featured appearances from Green Day, Justin Timberlake, Noah Kahan, Benson Boone, Ice Cube, Sublime, and Khruangbin, among many others.

Despite their years-long estrangement, Kate has, however, recently been reconnecting with her dad, who became largely absent from her life after he split from her mom Goldie Hawn in 1982. After she said their relationship was "warming up" earlier this year, he revealed to Us Weekly: "Kate put it perfectly. We are warming up [and] letting things take their course," noting: "All families have rifts. It's nice that our rift is healing," after years of "ups and downs."
