Honed and toned

The 33-year-old actress drew gasps from the crowd as she threw pose after pose on the New York red carpet for her latest film, ‘The Reader.’

Her cinched-in waist and toned limbs were no doubt the result of hours spent in the gym. Her hour-glass figure was also helped by her £1,200 bandage dress by Herve Leger.

The ingenious dress—the must have at top-end office parties everywhere right now—squeezes, pushes and pulls the body in and out at all the right places to give the perfect shape.

In Stephen Daldry’s ‘The Reader, ’Winslet plays a former azi prison camp guard now working as a tram conductor. Her 35-year-old character—Hannah Schmitz— seduces a 15-year-old schoolboy, played by David Kross.

Winslet describes her character as looking like “a carthorse” in her boxy uniform. But once she steps out of her unflattering attire, the body underneath is “sensational,” according to one film reviewer.

“Therewas no body double,” the actress said. “The body on screen is all me—warts and all.”
