The Real Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet won Sunday night the Academy Awards for best actress for her role in “The Reader”. No surprise here because everyone already knew apparently, besides her. The actress looked gorgeous on the red carpet and it seems her hard work, professional and physical, paid off.

Kate wore a beautiful satin grey evening gown from Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati, accessorized with Chopard jewels. She was stunning. No wonder now Hugh Hefner wants her to pose naked for Playboy. The best actress winner has kept her body in shape, even though she argues that she hasn’t been working out since October. For sure she hasn’t given up practicing Pilates. Kate lost a lot of weight and transformed her body to an A-list star thanks to Pilates, which she practices at home.

She doesn’t have a personal trainer like all Hollywood celebrities. Kate preferred doing Pilates in the intimacy of her home, using Pilates DVD workouts. She is trying hard to get over her teenager image of “fat kid” and set an example to her daughter, by telling her she should be proud of herself and her body. "I don't know a single woman who doesn't stand up and check the tush (bottom) before she walks out the door. I've decided I'm going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that. I want to be able to say to my daughter: 'I love this'," explained Kate.

The actress argued numerous times she won’t go for plastic surgery : “I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
