Hats off to Kate Winslet for making the act of giving that much more beautiful. After lending her voice to the documentary A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism, Winslet founded the Golden Hat Foundation, named after a featured poem of the same name.

“Lancôme has given me the strength to go all the way, and I know this will open many doors,” the brand ambassadress says of the company’s Golden Hat range. Comprised of holiday-ready luminous powders, moisture-rich lipsticks and five new shades of nail polish, the collection “is so stunning and gorgeous and perfect for now,” Winslet tells Stylelist. “I mean, the colors are really festive.”

Ranging from $15-$40, the products, which are embossed with the foundation’s signature hat, help to promote awareness for children afflicted with non-verbal autism. (The actress has also spearheaded a book initiative of the same name, which features a slew of celebs all wearing the same golden topper.)

Kate Winslet Really Loves Stella McCartney’s ‘Miracle’ Dresses

She has one of the most fabulous figures in Hollywood, but even Kate Winslet gets a little help looking slim sometimes. The star once again turned to Stella McCartney on Sunday, wearing a red-and-black version of the designer’s “miracle” dress (also known as the “Octavia,” $1595) to the Carnage premiere in Paris. The stretch cotton sheath is so nicknamed because its black side panels seriously flatter the figure.

Winslet has always been a fan of McCartney’s designs, wearing a sexy cut-out LBD to the Mildred Pierce premiere in March. But considering we rarely see her repeating dresses, it was surprising to see her in another of McCartney’s “miracle” dresses after wearing the original “Octavia” to the Venice Film Festival in September.

Liv Tyler and Lala Vazquez are also fans of the sheath, and Penélope Cruz wore a similar style to the Cannes Film Festival in May. The dresses are so popular, in fact, that knock-offs have popped up everywhere from ASOS.com to Topshop. “Usually when someone wears a dress no one else wants to wear it,” PEOPLE StyleWatch editor Kate Dimmock tells GMA. “This time around, people are willing to go there, because it’s that irresistible.”

Sunday night’s Emmy telecast had us seeing red — but not in a bad way! The night’s biggest stars arrived at the show in a slew of gorgeous gowns, ruling the red carpet in dramatic shades of scarlet.

Glee‘s Lea Michele was among the first to set the trend in a bright Marchesa gown with embellished shoulders. Winner Kate Winslet followed suit, flaunting her famous curves in an Elie Saab dress. Red-hot Modern Family star Sofia Vergara went for a bombshell look with her dress (and makeup), slinking into the show in Vera Wang. Meanwhile, presenter Kerry Washington brought some sparkle to the Emmys in her Zuhair Murad gown, while Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev stunned in her mermaid-style Donna Karan dress.

Other stars who had us on red alert? The Office‘s Angela Kinsey, nominee Mireille Enos and pre-show hostesses Nancy O’Dell and Giuliana Rancic. Naturally, they all looked lovely in their crimson gowns, but we want to know: Which look was your favorite?

VIDEO: Behind the Scenes with Kate Winslet for St. John

Jul/19/2011 at 12:00 PM ET

Kate Winslet has been busy working her sexy side as the new face of luxury knitwear brand St. John and as a special treat, the company has released a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot for the actress’s fall 2011 advertising campaign. In the clip above, shot at the historic Loew’s Theater in New Jersey, a sultry Winslet talks about wearing clothing that simply feels good — and looks good, too. “The clothes are cut beautifully, the fabrics are elegant, you can look extremely chic without trying too hard,” she says in the clip above. “You don’t feel that the clothes are something that only a model would be able to wear.” And with her own children to raise, Winslet said she feels inspired by fellow mothers and other women who give their all, one of the many reasons why she loves the ease of the brand. “The St. John collection is effortless and chic, and I think speaks to how real women live and dress today,” she shares in a statement. Catch Winslet’s ads when they launch in print in September. –Kim Peiffer

She had the fashion world abuzz when she was announced as the new face of American knitwear company St. John in April, and now, Kate Winslet‘s first official photo for the fall 2011 advertising campaign has been revealed. In the image, shot by photographer Craig McDean at the Loew’s Theater in New Jersey, Winslet shows off her sultry side, laying across a stage draped in a figure-hugging granite Milano knit dress and sporting tousled curls. “Kate is an ideal choice for our new campaign,” St. John creative director George Sharp said in April. “She is an accomplished, beautiful woman with an extraordinary body of work, and one of the most admired actors of her generation. She embodies the modern sensibility of St. John, she is contemporary and authentically captures the style of the St. John woman.” The campaign will launch in September in magazines nationwide, but Winslet will also collaborate on “behind the scenes” vignettes for the brand’s website.
