Kate Winslet

[MrsCatHead]

Yeah, I just don't see how she can lose THREE dress sizes. From what I remember, she was a UK8, which is a US6. She'd look skeletal if she lost three sizes down from an 8. And she looks thinner but normal in that Jarhead premiere pic.

Yes, bfrog that was it, thank you.

And I agree... it's not what I would call divaesque wanting photo approval if you can, I mean, who wouldn't?

ETA: If she was a UK size 8, she was already a Small...three dress sizes would be a UK size 4, and I really couldn't imagine someone with Winslet's bouild to be that small. I had a hard enough time trying to find anything smaller than 8 in UK.

I agree- three dress sizes just sounds like good copy. I agree with Georgianna that perhaps she lost 10-15 lbs. Is that one dress size? Anyway, I hope she doesn't have plans to lose more. Stop Kate! Stop!

Yeah, she still has meat on her arms - when the arms turn to toothpicks, then you know a person is getting too thin. In that Jarhead pic she just looks like her hips are a little smaller.

But yeah - Kate, we don't need another Skeletor in Hollywood. That town is already full of them.

From what I heard at ONTD, she's denying the three dress sizes. Let's hope so.

Maybe people mean "three dress sizes" from her Titanic era figure? I have seen the emerald Oscar dress she wore the yr she was nominated for Titanic in person at Christies and it looked like a US12. So if she is a US6 now, that is 3 dress sizes.

BTW, the largest dresses at that Christies auction was the red Versace dress worn by Cindy Crawford. The second largest was w/o doubt, Winslet's

I think that makes sense. It wouldn't make as good a story to say she has lost three dress sizes since Titanic came out! Wasn't that 8 years ago or more?

As if we needed another reason to love her.

With all the emaciated Kates running around (Hudson, Moss, Bosbland), it's good to hear from one with a realistic view of her body. Then again, if I looked like that after two kids, I'd be pretty darn pleased with myself, too.

You're right. A UK size 8 would be a US size 4, which is pretty skinny, and would make her a US size 0 (UK 4) now! There's no way she's a size zero, and thank God for that. As far as I'm concerned, no one looks their best at that size.

Kate on being a working mom and family life

She is so anti-Fishy! None of this, "My child eats organic strawberries grown in the Andies mountain and reads Shakespeare at three months!"

“I just don’t think an hour of piano followed by an hour of ballet followed by an hour of God knows what necessarily makes your child a better person,” she says. “I find all that competitive stuff ridiculous. At the moment Joe likes fingerpainting and Mia likes sticking macaroni on his face. Kids aren’t rocket science. We should relax about it a bit.”

Heh.
