Speaking on TV show "The View," Kate - wearing a fitted grey jacket over a black pair of trousers and shirt - said: "I have an eight-year-old daughter and she is a little bit of a fashionista. In fact, just the other night she said to me, "Mum, just a personal question. Why do you wear so much black?"

"I said to her, 'What color do you think I should wear?' And she said, 'Pink, no not pink. Anyone over the age of 10 shouldn't wear pink!'"

Kate - who is the hot favorite to win Best Actress at next week's Academy Awards following a string of successes at the Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globes and BAFTA award ceremonies - has also revealed she loves dressing up for the prize-giving ceremonies because she was too fat to wear nice clothes as a child.

She said: "My mother would get me to wear a pink puffball hand-me-down skirt that had to be let out because I was considerably stockier than my sister. So I never felt great dressing up. Now I just want to enjoy it."
