All dressed up: Kate Winslet reveals her legs in a slashed dress as she goes to an event in New York


In recent months Kate Winslet has barely been seen on the celebrity circuit, preferring instead to spend time with her two children.

But the actress showed she can still hold her own as she stepped out last night in New York.

Dressed in a black and white floor-length gown, slit daringly to the upper thigh, she looked every inch the Hollywood star.


The 35-year-old teamed her dress with a flattering updo, her hair twisted back.

Last week Kate was revealed as the new face of upmarket clothing brand St John, following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Karen Elson.

She told WWD: 'They want to keep it looking like me and not have it look like me pretending to be a model wearing these clothes.

'I'm obviously not a model. I'm not the size of a model. I don't have the face of a model or the shape of a model.'

Kate has remained single since the end of her eight-month relationship with English model Louis Dowler late last year.

The pair started dating after Winslet revealed she had separated from second husband, director Sam Mendes after seven years of marriage.

She was previously married to Jim Threapleton - father of her daughter Mia, 10, for three years.

Kate Winslet Fantasizes About Being Friends with Michelle Williams

While the Blue Valentine star may not be best friends with Kate, the actress – who has five-year-old daughter Matilda with her former fiancé, the late Heath Ledger - often turns to her close confidante Reese Witherspoon, 34, when she needs practical advice.

Michelle explained in February's Marie Claire: “To give credit where credit is due, I was sharing a difficulty I was experiencing with Reese Witherspoon, and she said, ‘Yes, I understand, but think about how much more difficult this would be without the luxury of a reliable, steady income.'”

While Michelle finds it difficult being a single mother, she does concede her wealth makes her life easier in some ways.

Kate Winslet Is Moving Back to England with Her Kids

Kate Winslet Is Moving Back to England with Her Kids:Kate Winslet announced she was splitting from her husband Sam Mendes in March, but these exes still have each other's best interests in mind. Winslet thinks it wouldn’t be “fair” to deprive him of seeing his seven-year-old son and 10-year-old stepdaughter from a previous relationship, so she's taking them to London so he isn’t far from them.

Kate, who currently lives in New York City, said: “Sam is doing the next Bond film, all being well, and we’ll all be in England if that happens.

“It’s such a massive commitment for him and it’s not fair for him to commute backwards and forwards to New York from London. It would be impossible. The children will be there with me.”

Discussing their split, the 35-year-old British screen beauty insists she and Sam are still good friends who have a lot of “respect” for each other.

After he makes the James Bond adventure, Kate could even see her working with the 45-year-old filmmaker again, following the critical success of their 2008 movie Revolutionary Road.

She added to the Daily Mail newspaper: “I can see us working together again -- that’s the way it is.

“We’re really good friends and have very good respect for each other. I can see it, but you’d have to ask Sam what he thinks.”

Last month, Kate called time on her relationship with model Louis Dowler after four months of dating, reportedly thanking him for helping her get over her split with Sam.

The actress - who is nude for most of her scenes in Holocaust drama 'The Reader' - doesn't want to strip off in front of the cameras for anymore roles.

She said I've always felt, because I have done a lot of nudity, very fortunate to have really and truly believed in those relationships and those very intimate moments.

"In every single case I feel that any level of nudity in the films that I've been a part of has been absolutely relevant and has actually really enhanced the story."

Kate's penchant for celluloid stripping hasn't gone unnoticed by her fellow actresses.Halle Berry - who flashed her flesh for her Oscar-winning role in 'Monster's Ball' - said "Kate Winslet is always naked, sitting on a toilet, or running buck naked. I want to be the kind of actress who can really be comfortable with my body like that.

Double Golden Globe winner Kate said: "To be honest with you, I'm more nervous through this award season than I have ever been before in my life. I'm still not used to it at all.

"I'm not exercising at all, and I'm eating whatever I like.

"Pressure? Gone! That's how I'm going to get through it."

The British actress - who strips off for her role in 'The Reader' - recently revealed she is happier with the way her body looks now and can afford to be less health conscious.

She said: "At a certain point, when you achieve a lot of your goals and you can be proud of your work, you start to relax more about who you are.

"And that includes your appearance and self-image - I don't think I look too bad for a mother of two."

Kate Winslet's crumbly stomach

Kate Winslet says she has a "crumble baby belly".

The British actress appears naked in her new film 'The Reader' but refused to use a body double or lose weight for the scenes, wanting a completely realistic look for her character.

Describing her own body, Kate admits to having aged, but maintains she is proud of her flawed physique, saying: "Here we go, I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids... I'm doing all right. I'm 33. I don't look in the mirror and go, 'Oh, I look fantastic!' Of course I don't.

"Nobody is perfect. I just don't believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, 'This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!' I'm proud of that."

She added: Life gets too complicated - and I don't want that for my kids
The five-time Oscar-nominated actress also says she tries to keep healthy, but doesn't limit what she eats.

She added to British newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye: "I'm not a supermodel and I do whatever I can just to stay healthy. I don't go to the gym... My body's different. It has settled into what it is now. None of this different diets lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad."

Kate also maintains she tries to give her two children - eight-year-old Mia, her daughter with ex-husband Jim Threapleton, and son Joe, four, with director husband Sam Mendes - as normal an upbringing as possible.

She added: "Life gets too complicated - and I don't want that for my kids. I don't want staff running around. I want them to put their own dirty clothes in the laundry bin and bring their plates from the table to the sink. It's as normal as we can be."Kate can next be seen in 'The Reader' with Ralph Fiennes and 'Revolutionary Road' opposite Leonard DiCaprio.

Kate Winslet's wrong look

Kate Winslet didn't think she would ever be famous because she was "fat".

The Oscar-nominated actress - who can soon be seen starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio again in new movie 'Revolutionary Road' - was worried she wouldn't fit in to Hollywood because of her plus-sized figure.

She said: "This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions - never. I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I'm being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else.

"And I still sort of have that. I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort."

Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else
The 33-year-old actress - who has an eight-year-old daughter Mia with ex-husband Jim Threapleton and a five-year-old son Joe with current spouse Sam Mendes - also revealed she finds it difficult to maintain a low profile while she is taking her children to school.

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: "You know why I fear people's judgment? Because I know they're judging. I know they are. You know, these mothers are going to read this article and they're all absolutely great, but I know when I walk into that classroom in the morning, even if it's for a split second, at some point I'm being checked out.

"And some of them will even say to me, 'OK, what's the secret with the skin?' At which point I'm like, 'Oh my God, there's no secret. I have make-up on. And by the way, since I turned 30, I've had an acne problem on my chin. I'm just like everybody else - I just know how to cover it. If you'd like me to show you how, I'd be more than happy.' "
