Kate Winslet: You Don't Have to be a Size 2
January 11, 2012 by: MADISON VANDERBERG

"You don't have to be a size 2, or even a size 4, to be able to wear these garments," Winslet admits in the new ads.
She's talking about St. John's clothes, of course, but Kate Winslet has become a kind of poster child for curvy women. Face it, nobody has the time to go to pilates or the patience to eat vegan and gluten free or whatever, because if we did, we'd all get Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow bodies.
Winslet says women have bought clothing simply becuase she wears it.
"A lot of women say they believe they could wear a particular dress or a pair of pants or a sweater because they have seen that I am able to wear those pieces," she says.
Winslet isn't the first celeb to resist caving in to the Hollywood model of being super skinny.
Jessica Simpson says that being bigger was great for her image. "I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds, but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding. Because when you're really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you."
Miley Cyrus, who is arguably not curvy at all, identifies with full bodied women and shot down a twitter follower who called her out for "gaining weight."
"By calling girls like me fat this is what you’re doing to other people," says Cyrus, and then she tweeted a pic of an emaciated woman.
