On second though, Relda and Dexter are probably right. But I think the bigger blame lies with the interviewer who asked her opinion. Just because she is the hot favorite of the two right now, doesn't mean she is the best authority on fashion we have today. But since she is not part of Hollywood, her comment is kinda like a foreign actor commenting on Bollywood celebs.

STUPID Mid-day though :(
As much as I love Kate Winslet and think very highly of her as an actress, I too wasn't very fond of her performance in The Reader, or to be honest, any of her recent performances. Post Little Children, her performances have started to become extremely mannered, screechy and bland. I think she was on her best form pre-Titanic: Heavenly Creatures, Hamlet, Sense and Sensibility and mostly Jude are some of her greatest screen performances, and daresay, some of the best performances I've ever seen. Of this decade, I only truly like Little Children, the only time she slipped into her character fully. She was good in The Reader, but there was something missing in the act too. Sure she was good, but it could have been so much better. Her last act was a complete failure: the makeup was laughable, and she couldn't pull of the old-woman act convincingly. She was very good in the court scenes in the middle act of the film, though. And another scene that stuck out was when the boy asks her to read something in the menu, and she has that blurry look on her eyes; she nailed the illiterate part. I am in two minds about the performance actually. Someday I think it was very good, some other day, just decent to above average. 😳 Maybe I am over-analyzing?
But I am so off-topic now.
