A few years ago, I created some kind of sh-tstorm when I said that Kate Winslet looked jacked and tweaked, and that she was obviously made of lies when it comes to plastic surgery/Botox/non-surgical enhancements. To be fair to myself, throughout much of 2010 and 2011, Kate did look very “different” and I kept pointing out that the version of Kate we were seeing was not the natural progression of aging considering her starting point of Titanic and Sense and Sensibility. And to be fair, Kate was rather strident in her claims she had never, ever done anything to her face.
I bring this up because I’m hoping that Kate has realized that she looks a lot better and a lot “softer” without the Botox (and whatever else). Pregnancy helps a lot too! These are pics of Kate at the BFI London Film Festival last night, where she walked the red carpet for her new film, Labor Day. The dress is Jenny Packham – Winslet also wore a Packham gown in Toronto too. That TIFF gown looked a lot like this one, just a different color.
Anyway, I think Kate looks amazing here. And look, that haughty, frozen look she had in 2011 is gone! MAGIC. The magic of not stuffing yourself with Botox. The magic of all of those pregnancy hormones which make you look glowing and radiant.
So, when do you think she’s due? I’d say sooner rather than later. Possible within the next month, maybe? And we still don’t know what’s going to happen with the name. Baby RockNRoll or Baby Winslet? Or Baby Hyphenate? Oh, God. What if it’s Eylove Winslet-RockNRoll?!?!?!

She is just one of those radiant preggo ladies.
beautiful woman
Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.
Blinded.
I don’t think she’s due until December or so. I’m due in January and looks like seven shades of hell right now. She looks fantastic.
Me too! Jan 31 and I look and feel HUGE! She however looks great.
17 January here! The second trimester goodness is starting to melt away and I’m back to first trimester nausea, bloating and exhaustion. I am so excited to meet my baby girl but over being pregnant. I hope the next 3 months go quickly!! Good luck to you!
Devon, you are right – they were discussing how great she looked on tv this morning and said she is 7 1/2 months along.
I thought so. If I’m 6 months and due in the middle of January, that would put her at the beginning of December.
Yay for January babies! I’m due Jan. 6 and look nowhere near as glowy or radiant as she does. I look tired, fat and feel like my joints are coming apart.
Yay for New Year babies! I guess it doesn’t hurt when you’ve got a team behind you getting you all prettied up!
Devon, Dorthy and Diana- congratulations on your babies to be! 😀
And for Kate’s sake I hope she’s wearing wedges or that she’s able to sit down as soon as she’s done with the red carpet. Ouch!
I’m due Jan 17 too!
She can actually say she birthed a bit of RockNRoll
She looks great, that dress is fantastic. I can’t imagine having to do the red carpet stuff while pregnant.
She really looks good.
I think she looks great, I love that red dress.
it’s part of being in that industry only if you’ve had serious complications during the pregnancy which Kate thankfully hasn’t do you get a pass from doing the Red Carpet if you have a movie to promote. 7.5 months would be 33 weeks so that would bring her due date to December 2nd. try having to do it when your only days away from giving birth as for example Joanne Woodward did to support Paul Newman when the hustler was released September 25th 1961 their middle daughter Melissa arrived two days later
People are really into having kids, aren’t they? It’s strange to me to have so many children from different fathers or even one of each. I don’t have kids and I don’t really understand why people want to have so many but that’s why I don’t have any! I had no idea she was pregnant until seeing these pics. Like the red.
Sometimes things just happen. Like my mom has five kids, and we have, between us three different dads. My older sister’s dad was Italian–they were engaged, but once they got engaged he started treating her differently, getting really controlling, etc (this was in the 80s)–so she broke it off. For the next 5-7 years, she didn’t really date much, until she met my sperm donor–who pretty much lied to her (he was married with kids AND had a bunch of other kids around–last count was 10 boys and a girl OUTSIDE of his marriage-where he has 4-5 w/his wife) and left her when she found out she was pregnant. She didn’t really date again until 3 years later when she met my dad (when me and my twin were 4), and they got married and had two more kids.
Sometimes shit just happens. I don’t think we can or should put any blame on Kate. Especially since it was rumored that Sam Mendes was cheating on her.
okay that’s fair. that sounds intense earlier on tho’ it sounds like it evened out. Hope everyone is safe and happy. thanks for your perspective.
She looks fantastic.
Courtney, just curious are you related to the Newman clan? They show up in every comment you make. Whether applicable or not. Nonetheless, I adore your Newman fact-filled posts.
Oh Lord, poor Baby RockNRoll. 🙁
She already addressed the baby’s last name very recently in an interview. She said it would not be named RocknRoll, and that that name would be way too much for a little baby.
“Galleon under full sail.” That dress isn’t flattering to her bosom from the side.
This is one movie star that does not need botox.
I just love Kate. She is an exceptional actress. Watch the movie Little Children and you will love her too. Kate looks radiant and glowing, no need for alterations of any kind.
Kate looks radiant!
Ugh. I hate being pregnant. I’m still in my first trimester, and it’s so much worse with my second than with my first. I hate how much havoc it wreaks on your body. The baby literally sucks you dry of things your own body needs, which is why women have problems with their joints, bones and teeth during/afterwards. Hair falling out, you name it. What a nightmare. Of course, it’s worth it when you see your baby. It’s always worth it, but in the process you feel like a host to a parasite. People (especially other moms. Yes, “mommy wars” is alive and well) give me shit about it, but it’s the truth. I love my daughter and I’ll love this baby, but being pregnant sucks, and if I were a millionaire I’d be paying a surrogate to do it.
