Kate Winslet made a striking fashion statement at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, opting for a daring monochromatic ensemble. The 49-year-old actress graced the red carpet in a white Erdem suit, featuring tailored trousers and an embellished blazer worn without a top underneath. The black sequin floral motifs on her jacket added a touch of sparkle to the otherwise understated look, perhaps a subtle nod to her iconic role as Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic. Winslet’s elegant updo showcased her large gemstone drop earrings, while her makeup featured a glossy rose lip, bold brows, and peachy cheeks.

Winslet received two Golden Globe nominations that evening: Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama for her portrayal of photojournalist Lee Miller in the film Lee, and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Anthology Series for Television for her role as a fictional dictator in The Regime. These nominations marked Winslet’s 14th and 15th Golden Globe nods since 1996, having already won five awards. Notably, Winslet’s were the only nominations received by either project.
Kate Winslet’s Powerful Performances in “Lee” and “The Regime”
In the World War II-inspired film Lee, Winslet embodies Lee Miller, an American model turned photojournalist who reported for British Vogue from the front lines alongside Allied forces in 1944 and 1945. The film chronicles Miller’s journey from the late 1930s, amidst the rise of Nazi Germany, through her wartime experiences and her relationship with art dealer Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgård). Frustrated by the limitations imposed on female photographers, Miller pushes boundaries and captures the realities of war.

The Regime, Winslet’s third HBO limited series following Emmy-winning roles in Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown, delves into the inner workings of a modern authoritarian regime on the brink of collapse. Winslet plays Chancellor Elena Vernham, a paranoid and unstable leader who forms an alliance with a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts). As Zubak’s influence grows, Elena’s quest for power leads to the fracturing of both the palace and the country.

Reuniting with Hugh Grant
The Regime also marked a reunion for Winslet and Hugh Grant, their first collaboration since the 1995 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.
