'I don't have a model's body': Kate Winslet shows off her 'real shape' for new St. John campaign

By MAYSA RAWI


Behind the scenes: Kate Winslet shoots the new autumn/winter campaign for U.S label St. John


Kate Winslet may not be a size zero, but that won't stop her from forging a successful modelling career.

The actress showed off her curves as the new face of U.S knitwear label St. John for their 2011 autumn campaign.

In behind the scenes footage, a smouldering Kate is shot in a series of elegant poses on stage at a theatre in New Jersey.


'Every woman's dream': Kate claims the camel dress is something you can 'throw on, zip up and go'


In video footage, entitled 'scenes of a woman', Kate declares her love for the U.S label for creating clothes that suit her 'real shape'.

Kate says: 'With St. John You can look extremely chic without trying too hard.

'You don't feel as though they are clothes that only a model would be able to wear.
'And obviously I am not a model, I don't have a model's body, I have a real shape.

'And that just means a lot to me to be able to wear clothes that do embody that message of strength and power and femininity in a real shape.'


Fresh talent: Kate replaces model Karen Elson and actress Angelina Jolie, who 'overshadowed' the brand


Having it all: Kate is inspired by mothers who set an example to young women, and hopes to do the same with her ten-year-old daughter Mia


The Titanic actress was hired to replace redhead model Karen Elson.

Angelina Jolie was previously the face of the label but it was reported she 'overshadowed' the brand.

When hiring Elson, CEO Glenn McMahon told WWD: 'We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.'

But it looks as though McMahon is now eating his words after hiring the 'blonde' actress



Comfortable but elegant: Kate claims the drawstring grey trousers and cashmere top is her favourite outfit



Retouching: The actress loves St. John for creating clothes for 'real women'

Too cool for school: Cher Lloyd says her 'unhappy' critics just have 'insecurities' - and reveals her bizarre crush on Mr Bean

By NADIA MENDOZA

Cheeky: Singer has a lot of attitude and has learned to ignore her 'haters'


Most teenagers would crumble at the barrage of backlash Cher Lloyd has received.

But the little fighter has hushed her critics by saying they're just 'insecure'.

The Malvern pop princess says the only reason people are so quick to bully her is because they're 'unhappy' themselves.


Cover girl: Cher features in Bliss


But with Simon Cowell's support, nearly half a million Twitter supporters and a debut album on the way, she is the one having the last laugh.

Cher, soon to be 18, even addressed the issues in her first single Swagger Jagger, singing: 'Hi hater/ Kiss kiss/ See you later.'

Having catapulted into the spotlight by coming fourth on last year's X Factor, the petite star has matured beyond her years.

She said: 'Some people find it hard to come to terms with the fact that everyone is different.


Tattooed tearaway: She's not even 18, but feisty Cher Lloyd has a mature attitude


'I think it all boils down to their own insecurities - if you’re unhappy with yourself, you’re going to pick on someone else, and that’s what they’re doing. I feel sorry for them.'

Speaking of her upcoming track, she said: 'There are certain lines in the song that basically explain that, no matter what I do, people won’t stop writing about me and talking about me all the time.

'I’m still in people’s minds, whether they like me or they hate me.'



Attitude: Cher sports multi-coloured hair as she performs at T4 On The Beach


Cher said she still speaks to Syco boss Cowell, saying: 'We have a really good relationship - it’s a truthful one.

'If there’s anything that he doesn’t feel will benefit me or lead me in the right direction, he’ll give me advice, which is the whole reason I went to the show - for his advice.

'To see whether I was good enough. He’s like an uncle. Uncle Si!
'Yeah, I do text him. I never put kisses though! Always a smiley face.'

She also credited her fans with giving her strength, adding: 'It’s really good. I call them my brats because they’re feisty.

'I don’t even have to open my mouth - they do it for me. I couldn’t do it without them.'

Cher also revealed her latest bizarre crush, telling Bliss: 'I’ve got a crush on Mr Bean.
