Kate Winslet always keeps us on our toes with her red carpet looks, changing things up from event to event, effortlessly switching between ballgowns and power suits in a selection of block colours, patterns and timeless prints; and her latest red carpet ensemble continues to rewrite the rule book for event-ready dressing.
It might be December, but Kate Winslet put her best foot forward, arriving at the BAFTA screening for her latest film Goodbye June. Cutting a striking figure in a white pinstripe suit, the look felt like an unusual move for the red carpet, especially in December, as the light and bright style is usually the reserve of summer months.

Pinstripe Double Breasted Waisted Tailored Jacket
In an ivory tone broken up by delicate pinstripes, this blazer makes a great alternative to Kate’s. A double-breasted design with contrasting buttons creates a sophisticated silhouette, which is only enhanced by the tailored waist and classic collared neckline.

Pinstripe Corseted Tailored Wide Leg Pants
Wide legs give these trousers tons of movement while still creating a defined silhouette. The longer line hem makes them skim the floor and they’re perfect for wearing with heels for an elongating effect. Even better, they have side pockets for a practical touch.

Delicate embellishments brought added interest to the collar of Kate’s shirt and this Zara button-up does the job, at a great price. With jewel beads dotted along the collared neckline, you get interest and a hint of festive glam.

Cream Pinstripe Wide Leg Trousers
With a high-rise waist and full-length, wide leg trousers, this cream pinstripe design offers a wardrobe staple you can take through the year. Wear them alongside a matching blazer and white shirt for a party-ready style, or with some knitwear and comfy boots for a more casual look.
