Kate Winslet commanded attention on the red carpet for the London premiere of her film “Lee” on Tuesday. The Oscar-winning actress stars as Lee Miller, the model-turned-photographer responsible for capturing some of the most stirring images of World War II.
For the red carpet premiere, Winslet favored a designer responsible for some of Kate Middleton’s most memorable looks. The actress wore a sleek black dress with slightly exaggerated shoulders and a formfitting silhouette courtesy of Jenny Packham.
The dress featured a slim fit in black with a plunging V neckline. On the short sleeves, shoulders and neckline of the dress were glittering gold floral embellishments to add a touch of sparkle to the overall ensemble.

With her dress the main fixture of her look, Winslet opted for minimal jewelry save for a pair of delicate drop earrings. Winslet’s blond hair was styled into soft curls by Nicola Clarke with makeup by artist Lisa Eldridge. Winslet’s ensemble was curated by stylist Cheryl Konteh, who’s also worked with “Challengers” star Mike Faist and actress Jasmine Jobson.
Packham has been a longtime favorite designer of the Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton previously wore dresses from the London-based designer as far back as 2011, most notably for the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner and National Memorial Arboretum Appeal at St. James’s Palace in London.
During one of her final appearances before taking a step back from duties as a senior member of the British royal family in early 2024 to focus on her cancer treatment, the Princess of Wales wore a Jenny Packham gown during an evening reception for members of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace in December 2023.
“Lee” follows Lee Miller during a pivotal decade of the former model and photographer’s life, how she participated in World War II and captured some of the most harrowing images of women and victims of the war in Europe. The film hits theaters Sept. 27.
