Carnage

Kate Winslet wore a familiar dress last night to the Paris screening of Carnage. Kate wore the same Stella McCartney dress, but in red, as she wore during a photocall for the same film at Cannes in early September. Yesterday, Kate posed for photos on the red carpet with her costar John C. Reilly and director Roman Polanski. She didn't, though, have the company of boyfriend Ned Rocknroll. The couple were together in recent weeks for a trip to America, where they visited San Francisco and Upham, NM. Following a stop back in their native UK, Kate and Ned popped up in NYC with her little ones Mia and Joe.

Kate Winslet hit the Carnage red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in a high-volume ponytail and neutral Victoria Beckham dress today. The actress attended the premiere without Louis Dowler by her side, but her costars Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly each posed for pictures with their significant others at the debut. Among the stars in attendance was Bar Refaeli, who wore a sexy pantsuit to the event. Kate was also on hand this morning for a press conference on the big-screen adaptation of the critically acclaimed play God of Carnage. She headed to Italy following a Caribbean vacation with Louis and her children, Joe and Mia, just last week. The trip ended in near disaster when a fire broke out at the home of Richard Branson, who was hosting the foursome, but Kate saved the day by helping evacuate her loved ones and Richard's elderly mother from the house.

Madonna and Kate Winslet lent their star power to the Venice Film Festival this morning. Kate was on hand for a photo call on behalf of her upcoming film Carnage, a Roman Polanski-directed version of the hit play Gods of Carnage. Joining Kate were her costars John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz. Kate, whose recent attempt at a vacation on Richard Branson's Necker Island was disrupted by a devastating fire, was nonetheless looking refreshed in a LBD and Michael Kors sandals. Madonna, meanwhile, wrapped up her fun in the South of France in order to attended a press event for her directorial project WE. She had leading ladies Abbie Cornish and Andrea Riseborough for company as they smiled for the cameras. Madonna said her talented exes were partially responsible for her venturing behind the lens. She told reporters today, "I am and was attracted to very creative people, which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, two very talented directors. They both encouraged me as a director and as a creative person to do what I did, and they were both very supportive."
