Kate Hudson's activewear range gets mocked for her x-rated legging design featuring bum cutouts

Nowadays, it feels like every week there's some new bizarre trend taking off in the fashion world.

And this week, it's Hollywood actress Kate Hudson who's the talk of the town.

Forget crop tops as the most daring activewear trend, because the How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days star's latest range of leggings literally leaves little to the imagination.

The leggings, sold by Hudson's activewear brand Fabletics, features thigh, crotch and bum cutouts, revealing much more than they conceal.

And the leggings, which come in hot pink or black, aren’t cheap, retailing for around NZ$150.

On the brand's website, a blonde model wears the leggings with a matching pink bra and high heels.

The website also states the leggings - which are appropriately called "The Spotlight Shaping A** Out Capri" - are "made in shimmery-soft lurex and features a breathable mesh interior."

Needless to say, the peculiar gym attire was torn to shreds over its impractical design with online fashion police deeming it "inappropriate" for every occasion.

Each to their own, we guess!
