Winslet hits out after 'appalling' experience of body-shaming

Speaking on the US talkshow 60 Minutes to promote her new film, a biopic of the photographer Lee Miller, Winslet recalled her experience at the 1998 Golden Globe awards, which she attended as part of the Titanic team.

In a clip shared during the show, Winslet was seen walking down the carpet in a black and white lace gown, alongside her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. The video then cuts to an interviewer telling Winslet she looked "a little melted and poured" into the dress, adding that she should have worn one "two sizes larger".
