Kate Winslet is a beauty with brains who has always fascinated fans with her deep and resonating comments on various issues. In a media interaction, she opined on the obscene amount of money and resources wasted on movie promotions. All these resources, she believes, could be better utilized in other areas like building classrooms. But this useless exercise, in Winslet’s opinion, is very stressful and should be done away with.
More particularly, she talked about the elaborate and expensive dresses that other stars splurge millions of dollars on, which are worn only on one occasion and get discarded and wasted. The actress resolved to repeat her dresses in order to stop the wastage and cut out the unnecessary stress that such extravaganzas bring.
Kate Winslet on Why She Had Vowed to Repeat Her Dresses for Award Shows

“The dresses, the stress, the dress fittings…It’s so stressful, and I know that sounds like, ‘Oh, here goes Kate Winslet talking about how stressful it is to do dress fittings for award shows.’ But it is stressful. I don’t like having to squeeze my hot-and-bothered mum-on-the-school-run body randomly into a red carpet-dress that I’m never going to wear again.”
She continued,
“The money that’s wasted on it. The hours and stress that people pour into these things. The incredible artists who make these dresses are wonderful, but to make something that’s only going to be worn once…I’ve already decided I’m doing repeat dresses. Everything will have to be let out, but whatever.”
