Kate Winslet is the covergirl on top of April’s issue of Vogue UK – and with this occasion, Kate is bringing a new (and temporary) look: a short, super bleached do, paired with dark eyebrows.
Kate Winslet is in Glamour Magazine this month, where she rocks a tight black dress on the cover and discusses body weight and image and plastic surgery in the interview:
GLAMOUR: During your last interview for Glamour six years ago, you were asked what you were going to be like in five years. And you jokingly replied that you’d be doing liposuction and Botox. Have you changed your mind about not trying those cosmetic things?
KATE WINSLET: My face is still moving, right? No, I have never tried any of that stuff…. I don’t have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else’s or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are.
GLAMOUR: I read that you were literally called “blubber†when you were a teenager because you were overweight.
KATE WINSLET: Yeah. Not when I was a teenager, actually-between the ages of 8 and 11. Looking back on it, I really wasn’t that heavy. I was just stockier than the other sporty, whippy-looking kids.
GLAMOUR: You stood 5’6†and weighed 200 pounds (90 kg at 168 cm)?
KATE WINSLET: When I was 15, yes.
GLAMOUR: Were you tormented? Because today you embrace your body in a way that women love-but did you feel that way back then?
KATE WINSLET: Well, that’s an enormous compliment. You know, I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me-and it was such a backhanded comment-they would say, “You’ve got such a beautiful face,†in the way of, like, “Oh, isn’t it a shame that from the neck down you’re questionable.â€
Debatable: 1. The hands looks awkwardly (not) placed on the hips. 2. Is the chosen brief a good idea for a cover?
Positive: The inside shots – usually, magazine photoshoppers airbrush the skin to look less like skin and more like… plastic, but this didn’t happen here.
I don’t want to judge, but it’s not for me. I would never adjust any part of my face; I just absolutely wouldn’t do it. But I also feel all that stuff is a bit scary: does anyone know the long-term effects of Botox or these filler things?â€
“It’s all so upsetting. That’s why I find myself talking about Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep, these beautiful women who are ageing gracefully. And Judi Dench and Helen Mirren – look at those women! And, guess what everybody? They’re working! And why? Because their faces still move. I just can’t imagine ever paralyzing any part of my face.â€
… says Kate.
