Kate Winslet: My Daughter Hated My Oscar Gown

Posted by Sassy Smith at 12:15 PM on February 26, 2009

Actress Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress last Sunday and while some may have thought her choice of dress was lovely, there was one person who was “mortified” about her gray dress… her 8-year-old daughter, Mia!

Winslet called her children – Mia, and son Joe Alfie, 5 – backstage, after her win. Mia couldn’t believe her mother’s gray Yves St. Laurent evening gown.

Kate, told Oprah on Monday’s show, “I said, ‘Hi, Mia, did you jump up and down?’ “[Mia] says: ‘Yes, I did, Mum, I did. I need to talk to you about the dress, it was gray.’ She was absolutely mortified I wore a gray dress.”

The 33-year-old told Oprah she didn’t want a lot of dresses being sent to her, especially in these tough economic times.

“I think in this time in the economy, it’s just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five. So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, ‘We’d like to make something for you,’ and that was what we did.”

Kate also talked about not doing any more nude scenes because of her children.

“I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids they’re 8 and 5 now, maybe they’re going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I’ve done. I just sort of feel like I can’t get away with it that much longer.”

Another reason I love her – she’s so real and seems like such a great mum! (And ya, she’s a wonderful actress too!)
