    Fresh-faced Ms Winslet gave the beautiful black number its first outing back in March, when she stepped out at the premiere of TV series Mildred Pierce in New York.

    The actress turned heads in the long-sleeved, sheer-sided dress, from Stella’s Autumn/Winter collection, which she teamed with co-ordinating black and nude heels, not forgetting a smoky eye and slick of neutral lipstick.
