Kate Hudson's middle son Bingham – Bing for short – is one year closer to becoming a teenager, and the pre-teen is not only already so grown up, he's starting to develop his own personal style.

The actress' son – and Goldie Hawn's grandson – celebrated his 12th birthday on July 9th, and his famous mom put his latest hair transformation on display in her sweet birthday tribute.

Bing is Kate's first and only son with former fiancé Matt Bellamy, the frontman for English rock band Muse. Kate and Matt met in 2010, and got engaged the following year, the year they welcomed Bing, before ultimately splitting in 2014. The star also shares son Ryder, 18, with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and daughter Rani Rose, four, with now-fiancé Danny Fujikawa.

Kate took to Instagram over the weekend to honor her now 12-year-old on his special day, and gave insight into Bing's hobbies and passions.

The mom-of-three revealed that her son is taking after his dad, as she highlighted Bing's longtime love for playing the drums.

Bing has always had a shaggy head of blonde hair, taking after his mom and grandmother, but it appears he recently chopped it all off and went even blonder, and is now sporting a buzzed, platinum blonde look.
