Kate Winslet opted for a geometric, Stella McCartney LBD with sexy, sheer paneling that extended from her left side to her back at the "Mildred Pierce" premiere in New York.

While I appreciate the fact that Kate took a risk in choosing this dress, I can't help but think the big polka-dots came off as a bit clownish (a ladybug also came to mind). I also would've preferred to see her accessorize her look with platforms. Her nude and black strap sandals competed with her dress.
