The star-studded 68th Venice Film Festival 2011 kicked off Wednesday, August 31st. KATE Winslet was admired on both sides of the Atlantic for bucking the size zero trend with her voluptuous curves. Kate Winslet’s hourglass figure seemed even more eye-popping than usual when she stepped onto the red carpet.

Her tiny waist appeared to have been nipped in even further by the £995 gown from the Stella McCartney autumn/winter collection. She teamed the three-tone frock with towering peep-toe shoes and pearl-drop earrings. However, the 35-year-old Titanic star has always claimed that she never wanted to rely on her looks in Hollywood, confessing: “It’s my chance to challenge myself. “I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best.”

35-year-old lady was looking absolutely gorgeous, in a multi-toned dress with black side panels and back slit from Stella McCartney Fall 2011 collection that showed off her hourglass figure in a stylish way.

The big screen beauty styled her hair in a low bun with side-swept bangs. Kate Winslet look at Mildred Pierce premiere was really head-turning. Her look reminds of socialite Kim Kardashian who usually dazzles in body hugging dresses.
