    The actress stunned in yet another scarlet dress at the Divergent premiere. It seems this is becoming a trend...

    Kate Winslet has been walking red carpets for 20 years now - and by this point, she knows what works.

    The 38-year-old actress turned up for the Divergent premiere in Los Angeles last night wearing a stunning red dress, with her blonde waves hanging loose.

    The Safiyaa dress hugged her curves and perfectly flattered her gorgeous post-baby body. (Is anyone else finding it hard to believe that this woman just gave birth to her third child a few months ago?)

    As she greeted fans and cosied up to costar Shailene Woodley, the English actress was positively glowing - and we have to say, the bright colour of the dress seemed to be the cause.

    Clearly, Kate has also noticed how lovely she looks in red. It's become quite apparent that it's her favourite red-carpet shade. In fact, it's been very rare to see the Oscar winner in any colour other than red, black or white in recent years.

    Sure, it might be nice to see Kate in a pastel or a print here and there - but her signature shade is definitely working for her. And who doesn't love to see a lady in red?
