Kate so-loves the way Meryl remains so unaffected by her success.

The British actress is amazed by how impressive Meryl is on the red carpet, and how she manages to take awards nominations in her stride.

Meryl has been nominated for an Academy Award a record 16 times, and Kate loves the way she remains so unaffected by her success.

“Meryl Streep as an actress has always been an icon for me and for women of my generation as a whole, I think,” Kate said. “We all want to be Meryl. I sometimes feel like, ‘Thank God we have her!’ She hasn’t adjusted herself at all, she remains totally true to who she is. Angelina Jolie also does really well in red carpet situations, she underplays it. And she is stunningly beautiful, of course.”

Titanic‘s Rose and Hollywood’s Kate has fond memories of the iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen who committed suicide on the fateful day of 11th February, 2010. In fact, her wardrobe shall vouch for that.

Kate Winslet is now happily married to director Sam Mendes but the stunner had tied the knot in 1998 with her 1st husband Jim Threapleton. And it was McQueen who had been entrusted the responsibility of draping her beautiful frame with her 1st wedding gown. Though, the matrimonial alliance eventually ended with a divorce, it did bear some fruits in the form of a baby girl, Mia. And the Oscar winning actress cherishes the memories of the day she adorned herself with her 1st bridal outfit.

Showing up for what’s sure to be an exciting night, Kate Winslet was spotted on the red carpet ahead of this year’s British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.

The award winning actress looked elegant and classy as she sashayed down the carpet stopping to pose for pictures and talk to press.

Ms. Winslet is set to present an award at tonight’s ceremony along with fellow British actor Robert Pattinson.

Kate Winslet was casually dressed when she arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport. She’s making a quick trip home to the UK to present at the BAFTAs before she heads to the Oscars, where she’ll also be a presenter on March 7:

Gearing up for an awards show weekend, Kate Winslet co-hosted the Lancôme and Harper’s Bazaar Pre-BAFTA Party in London, England on Friday.

Mortified by headlines she received for performances at previous awards — giving ceremonies — “Get a grip, love,” “You’re embarrassing us” and “It’s celebrity big blubber” — Kate Winslet assures me there will be no theatrics from her at the BAFTAs.

“There will be no tears,” she told me at the Lancôme pre-BAFTA party in association with Harper’s Bazaar at the St. Martin’s Lane Hotel. “This year I can just relax and enjoy watching everyone else get nervous and appreciate their delight when they collect their awards.” After I disclosed in January that her husband Sam Mendes will direct the next James Bond film, I asked her if she would prefer to play the heroine or the villain. “That is a very clever question,” she laughed. “But I am not going to answer it.”
