Check out this photo … that is simply female perfection. And yes, I’m well aware of the optical tricks employed in that dress - but we men are simple creatures and are still impressed by such artfully-deployed artifice.
She is stunning…but I find myself liking her better with longer hair. But I’m female and boringly straight, so that probably doesn’t count for much.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but she doesn’t work for me. Would I boot her to the curb if for some reason she wanted to bump uglies with me? Of course not. But I find her average looking in the world of beautiful Hollywood movie-type women. Maybe above average. But that’s about it.
That thing looks like a blown up rubber balloon or a tire for a construction truck.
Trash.
Doesn’t look good to me, especially the bleached blonde hair with dark eyebrows.
I’ve always been more impressed by her acting than her looks, but hey, mileage, ya know, varies.
I hope I’m being wooshed. That’s about the worst I’ve seen her looking.
The dress reminds me of the Reeves and Mortimer Diet Board
I think she’s beautiful, but I think that picture and dress are awful.
She looks like an Image comic book’s cover, right down from the strange anatomy to the cockish pose (btw, she even manages to completely cover the guy that’s right behind her in the pic).
Seconded. Kate Winslet is ridiculously attractive, but in this picture she’s… not… and that’s being generous.
That dress is awful, and her hair is awful. She could look a lot better with minimal effort.
ETA : ha, I had not seen the above replies when I posted…

I’m with those who feel she’s looked better in other pictures.
I concede that she would look better without the dress but insist she not be bald.
I adore her and think she’s utterly gorgeous, but I don’t like her look at all in this picture. The dress makes her top half look stocky somehow, she needs a stronger lipstick, and I’m not wild about her hair.
However, she usually looks just stunning on the red carpet and is generally the epitome of class.
‘Average looking’! Blimey Oh Riley, I think she’s LEAGUES ahead of most ‘Hollywood’ types.
I think what is particularly attractive about her is that she’s no stick insect (however, I don’t think the OPs picture is the best, and I HATE the dress).
You’re right - all the dress needs is a boob window, and she could be just about any superheroine since the early '90s.
That said, I think it’s a gorgeous shot, but I never in a million years would have recognized her as Kate Winslet. Her nose doesn’t usually look that strong, and something about the dress and the pose (and maybe the nose) give her an oddly masculine energy.
I like it. I like it a lot.
It makes her shoulders look broader, which I think is what gives off that masculine vibe I mentioned above.
Agreed, and you haven’t even touched on the biggest thing. Her face is jacked up. If her face, framed by the right hair, still looked pretty, maybe she could pull off the rest of the outfit. But like that? Ew.
And, thanks, Miller, for pointing out both of the problems: the angle and the illusory broader shoulders. She honestly looks Liefeld-esque.
She is contemplating her next act of superheroineism to the surprise of no-one. And these things do build up the large muscle groups.
