I saw her in Toronto at the Little Children premiere and I also got to see the movie. I'm pretty sure she arrived with Patrick Wilson but no one seemed to have a clue who he was, they all went crazy for Kate so I kinda felt bad for him. The dress looks blue in the pics in post 221 but it looked black to me at the time.
The movie was pretty good, quite dark and funny in places. Kate's naked in the movie, she has some pretty steamy love scenes. She's certainly not shy about showing off her body. I'd be shocked if she wasn't nominated for an oscar.

He's smoking hot in the movie, I wasn't a fan of his in Phantom but he was great in LC.
It's funny because he was almost acting like Kate's minder telling the people on either side of the barricade that she would come over and sign stuff for them so at first I wasn't sure it was Patrick. Upon seeing the movie and the pics of him from the premiere, I'm pretty sure it was him. Poor guy, I would have gotten his autograph if I'd have known.

Jude and Cameron annoy me somewhat but I'll see the movie for Kate and Jack. I'm sure they'll try and push Cameron as the great beauty in the movie but really she can't hold a candle to Kate.

It's funny that in LC, Jen Connelly is supposed to be the great beauty and Kate is playing the so called plain and frumpy stay at home mom. I usually think Jen is stunning but in the movie she has somewhat of a dorky haircut and she was looking a little gaunt in the face so I think Kate beats her hands lookswise.

^^ It's a bathing suit. In the movie she kinda sets out to seduce Patrick Wilson's character, she knows he takes his son to the local pool everyday so she buys the red bathing suit specially to wear there and impress him. She looks great in it as well!!
What Kate Winslet Knows In a system designed to neglect women, this actress calls her own shots. Her lessons learned: Trust your instincts... saying no can help your career... and don't skip a delicious dessert by Karen Valby
'TITANIC' STRENGTH After blockbuster success at a tender age, Winslet made a point of ''hanging on to what was most important to me in terms of work''
Sitting on the stool of a Manhattan diner during the lunch rush, swinging her legs, her upper body collapsing into a heap on the counter when she has a laugh at herself, Kate Winslet fits right in with the regulars. She is, of course, a great beauty, but almost more so because she isn't a moving statue of poreless, curveless perfection. Her hair is falling haphazardly out of its ponytail and she's in Birkenstock sandals and a shapeless knee-length gypsy skirt ''that, frankly, my mother would have worn,'' she says with good-humored disinterest. And yet everyone in the restaurant, the hipsters and the suits, the cops and the construction workers, looks positively besotted.
In 1997, Winslet navigated the sudden onslaught of fame after Titanic with a grace and coolness sorely lacking in today's young Hollywood. As the now-31-year-old beaming mother of two children (Mia, 5, and Joe, 2) and wife of American Beauty director Sam Mendes, she never wasted any time fighting over B actors or dodging drug or dehydration or anorexia rumors in the tabloids. Winslet credits a large part of her professional composure to her close friend Emma Thompson, whom she met during 1995's Sense and Sensibility. ''She set an incredible example for me when I was very young,'' says Winslet. Thompson imparted two crucial notes of caution. '''As much as you might be tempted, you need to remember that it's very important not to work sometimes,''' remembers Winslet. ''And she also told me, 'If you ever lose weight, I will never f---ing talk to you again.'''
But perhaps what's most endearing about Kate Winslet is not her earthy looks or her easy laugh. It's simply, refreshingly, her talent. She's already racked up a staggering four Academy Award nominations (for Sense and Sensibility, Titanic, Iris, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). And yet if you exclude Titanic's record-breaking receipts, she has never starred in a major box office hit. Unlike the many stars who rely on their smile or their body or their winning effervescence, she's built a steady career of nuanced performances in small gems of movies. In the coming months, her impressive range, and Hollywood's inability to typecast her, is on full display as she floats from a supporting role in Steven Zaillian's political drama All the King's Men to the lead in Todd Field's intimate study of suburban angst Little Children and then to what will be, remarkably, her first romantic comedy ever, Nancy Meyers' December film The Holiday.
''People do love her,'' says Meyers, whose last movie was the rousing hit Something's Gotta Give. ''The only other person I've ever seen love acting that much is Jack Nicholson.''
Winslet was just 21 years old when Titanic's $1.8 billion global take transformed her into a superstar. ''I remember having this overwhelming feeling of, Oh, my God, if I'm ever going to have to hang on to the seat of my pants, it's now,'' she says. ''Not in terms of losing my mind, but sticking to my guns and hanging on to what was most important to me in terms of work, regardless of the size of budgets and regardless of what a role could do for me in the long run.'' So she turned down high-profile parts in Shakespeare in Love (for which Gwyneth Paltrow won an Oscar) and Anna and the King (for which Jodie Foster did not), and instead went off to Morocco to play a hippie mother of two small kids in the tiny road picture Hideous Kinky. ''I knew doing that film was going to save my soul for that period of time,'' she says. ''And it came and went and that was just fine.''
''So I love to sit back and see young actresses work their way up the ladder,'' she continues, ''and not only give great performances but also hang on to themselves.'' She's giddy about the talents of Michelle Williams (''I could watch her until the cows come home!''), Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Maria Full of Grace's Catalina Sandino Moreno. At the 2005 Oscars, both Winslet and newcomer Moreno were nominated for Best Actress. ''I could have just wept for joy for her,'' she says. ''I didn't know her, but she and I were on the red carpet and she would lean over and say, 'Do I look okay?' And I'd say, 'You look ab-so-lute-ly fantastic!' To be suddenly so on show like that is a really strange thing.''

Kate Winslet: One woman Hollywood can't ignore if
COMMERCIAL BREAK The Holiday (with Jack Black) stands to be Winslet's most cineplex-friendly film since Titanic
Since her own red-carpet debut, Winslet has purposefully steered clear of Hollywood's stock roles for actresses — the girlfriend or the girl fending off a killer. In Little Children, she plays an adulterous mother who, according to director Todd Field, handles her child ''like a piece of luggage she's dragging through the airport.'' Field, who fell hard for Winslet's work (''so alive and mad and engaging'') in Eternal Sunshine, praises his star's desire to embrace such an everyday, flawed character. ''As actors,'' says Field, who himself starred in movies like Eyes Wide Shut before making his directorial debut with the Oscar-nominated In the Bedroom, ''we get rewarded for doing things that are our stock in trade: playing someone with a handicap or changing your gender or playing someone like Roosevelt. But what Kate's done with this woman is make tiny, tiny brushstrokes that run the emotional gamut.''
Signing up to play a cheating spouse was, strangely, an easier decision for Winslet than accepting Meyers' offer to costar with Cameron Diaz in The Holiday. ''There's a certain amount of potential for exposure as a human being that goes hand in hand with being involved in a bigger studio picture like that,'' she explains. ''And so I just had to take a deep breath and say, Well, first of all, do I want to play this part? The answer was immediately yes. I might not have to fall apart weeping and drowning and dying by the end of the movie, but I actually love a good popcorn film. I love Maid in Manhattan! I love Something's Gotta Give! But then I did have to think of the other side of it, the fact that I hadn't done something that commercial since Titanic. I took a deep breath and decided it was time.''
As Meyers began previewing The Holiday for test audiences, she was cheered by the warm response to Winslet. ''For young women to look at her as opposed to the girls in Us Weekly is terrific. Everything about her just screams smart. I think she'll keep going and going, giving great performances at every age.''
