Kate Winslet commanded attention on Tuesday as she arrived at Deutsches Theater during the Munich Film Festival 2024 to be presented with the CineMerit Award.
The actress, 48, looked the picture of elegance in a lowcut white blazer, that allowed a glimpse at her cleavage.
She teamed it with a pair of matching tailored trousers and brown suede high heels, adding a touch of sparkle with dangling earrings.
The Oscar winner styled her hair in soft waves and sported a radiant palette of makeup to accentuate her natural beauty.
Kate is being honoured at the international film festival with the CineMerit Award for extraordinary achievement.

She is in attendance at the German event for the European premiere of her biopic Lee, in which she plays famed war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller.
The film is directed by Ellen Kuras and also stars Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Noémie Merlant, Josh O’Connor, and Alexander Skarsgård.
Lee took eight years to make and at one point, Kate – who also produced the film – paid the entire cast and crew’s salaries for two weeks due to lack of funding.
Her appearance at the festival comes after Kate revealed her iconic kissing scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic was a ‘nightmare’ to film.
The Mare of Easttown star detailing filming the famous ‘I’m flying’ scene where she and Leo, 49, kiss at the front of the boat, admitting the smooch was ‘not all it’s cracked up to be’.
Rewatching the scene for an interview with Vanity Fair, Kate told how both she and Leo’s makeup kept rubbing off on each other.
She said the scene was extra difficult to film because director James Cameron wanted the perfect lighting, while it was filmed on a part of the set that was difficult to access so the hair and makeup team couldn’t be there with them.
Patting her top, Kate said: ‘I have gotten hidden in here and here, I’ve got his makeup and brushes and sponge and my makeup and brushes and sponge in the other side.’

‘Between takes, I was basically redoing our makeup.’
‘We kept doing this kiss, and I’ve got a lot of pale makeup on and I would have to do our makeup checks — on both of us, between takes — and I would end up looking as though I’d been sucking a caramel chocolate bar after each take because his makeup would come off on me.’
Leo faced the same problem as Kate’s much lighter makeup kept rubbing off on his face during takes.
However, the scene wasn’t all bad as Kate admitted her co-star was ‘quite the romancer’.
She said: ‘No wonder every young girl in the world wanted to be kissed by Leonardo DiCaprio. It was not all it’s cracked up to be.’
In another interview with Variety, Kate dismissed the ‘stupid’ rumours of a rift between her and James after she had spoken about the difficulties of filming the blockbuster in interviews.
She said: ‘There’s a part of me that feels almost sad that stupid, speculative Titanic stuff at the time overshadowed the actual relationship I have with him. He knows I will be up for anything. Any challenge, any piece of direction you give me? I’ll try it.’

Kate and James went on to work together again in his 2022 film Avatar: The Way Of Water.
Titanic was the highest grossing film of all time until the release of the first Avatar film in 2009.
The film made Kate a star around the world, which she admitted she found difficult to adjust to.
She explained: ‘I actually felt a bit beaten up by it, truth be told… I had a lovely family, but all my family saw is “My God, Kate’s got work in a really big film.”
‘One doesn’t want to turn around to your mum and dad and say, “It’s really hard, actually”.’
Kate’s daughter Mia Threapleton has also become an actress, appearing in recent films like Firebrand and Scoop.
Asked if she’s nervous about Mia’s new career in the limelight, Kate said: ‘Thank God, this terrible criticism that could be actively damaging—that has stopped.
‘If that part’s gone away, she can figure out the rest herself. She’s so emotionally robust and true to herself, I don’t worry.’
