Holy moly. I thought Kate Winslet was hot before, but now ... wow!

[tr0psn4j]

She looks like a man in the OP’s picture. A man’s face on a comic book woman’s body.

[miss_elizabeth]

I like the picture, but it isn’t anywhere close to my favorites of her. And I really think she’s a knockout.

But the DRESS! Holy shit, that dress!!! I need it! I want it! I MUST HAVE IT! Fuck I hope they make a knockoff. That dress could make anyone look hot, but especially ME.

Kate Winslet is hot, and lots of it is her confidence, but this picture looks like she’s channeling Mae West or Loni Anderson.

Not my cup of tea.

Check out this photo … that is simply female perfection.

Not so much. Kate is a pretty girl, but in that photo, she looks like a Russian tractor driver on steroids.

Her knees are a little sharp too.

I see what you did there…

To those claiming her hair is short in that picture, it’s not. She has it in a bun (or something similar). See here: http://thedailyglam.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/kate-winslet-stella-mccartney-dress-2011.jpg

The hell she does. Her face is her best feature, and it’s anything but mannish in that pic. She does look like a blonde Wonder Woman, though.

I like the dress’s illusion, suggesting the woman’s curves are defined by the white section, the excess hippage hidden in the black.

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.

I man am very happy to let you try to chase this “female perfection”.
To me, she doesn’t even register as “attractive” on this picture. In fact, more exactly, I can intellectually comprehend that she’s beautiful and would be attractive to many, but I don’t feel the slighest bit of attraction. Rather the contrary.
Note however that by googling pictures of her, I can find many where she’s actually attractive to me. In fact, looking at the gallery, you have a hard time believing it’s the same woman on all these pictures.

Kate is beautiful, check her outin the ad campaign of St. John. The Stella dress is interesting, though it practically shouts at one to notice it…

I like those better, but the overprocessed look takes the edge off for me.

@BigT

She honestly looks Liefeld-esque.

A vile slander. She has feet, her limbs all connect the way human limbs connect, and her neck is in between her shoulders, not off to one side. Also, her hands are on her hips, not floating in front of or behind them. All in direct violation of the Liefeld school of art.

That said, man you people are picky. The sportsbra-part is a little too separated from the rest of it, the shoes are ugly and the pose is unnatural. Whoop-di-@#!$. The shoulders are awesome and the hips are exactly as awesome. The I’m-a-bitch haircut is not bad, either.

If that is what a man looks like, please let me know where you live. I wish to find the men in your area, and have sex with them.

But you’d have to avoid white walls all night.

[Billy_Baroo]

I’m with OP. Her tummy is mind bending in that photo. Is that 'shopped?

I would like to reiterate my entreaty to enrich the parlance of our times and refer to breasts as Winslets. I would also accept some Cockney rhyming slang version.

Here is a better optical trick…actually, there were no tricks needed.

You need more coffee if you think that’s hot. I’ve sent over one of the Knightley bots to administer it.

I was going to go all “Fool of a <blank>”, but I couldn’t think of a good one. Anyway, are you saying that Kate looks more like Power Girl, or am I missing something subtle?

[Ura-Maru]

Wonder Woman’s bare arms and shoulders, but Power Girl’s short hair and color scheme.

Both answers are acceptable. We also would have accepted Ice, Killer Frost, and The Ghost, all of whom are thematically similar, but none of whom is a perfect match.

What I don’t understand is the clear but baffling implication that looking like a superheroine (or villian) is a BAD thing.

I think the idea is that persons like Rob Liefield

have long been drawing female characters with no regard for anatomical realities but much attention to titillation, and the photo linked to the IM was somewhat reminiscent of that.
