Kate Winslet remembers being embarrassed after Titanic
Praising the confident and liberated female celebrities at the Met Gala 2024, the Avatar 3 actor said, “I was actually smiling, because every single image of women on the red carpet, every woman is sharing her body on her own terms, the way they want to. And knowing that they can do it safely, because the media is not going to criticise them. And it’s completely different from the way it used to be in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002.” Recalling her past experiences with tabloids and portals during the advent of the internet, she further added, “This nonsense went on for years.”
