Kate Winslet looks radiant as she attends the Australian premiere of Lee in Sydney

Kate Winslet looked chic as she attended a screening of her new movie on Sunday.

The Titanic star, 49, made a statement on the red carpet of the Australian premiere of Lee at the Ritz Cinemas in Sydney.

Kate wore an oversized white jacket and contrasted it with simple black pants and black pumps.

She wore her hair down and wavy as she worked her angles for the cameras.

Some familiar Aussie faces were in attendance, with veteran journalist Liz Hayes stopping by to pose with the movie star.

Kate’s new film, Lee, is a biographical drama telling the story of American ex-model Lee Miller who took photographs of poignant moments during World War II for Vogue magazine.

The movie also stars Josh O’Connor, Marion Cotillard, Andy Samberg, and Alexander Skarsgard. 

The production was a passion project for Winslet and director Ellen Kuras, with both women committed to the film even after funding woes.

Because of its precarious funding situation, the film took eight years to make. 

At one point, Kate resorted to paying the entire cast and crew for two weeks to ensure production continued. 

The actress’ public appearance comes just weeks after she confessed she boosted her sex life by undergoing testosterone replacement therapy. 

The beauty, who has been married to husband Edward Abel Smith (formally known as Ned ‘Rocknroll) for 12 years, says she feels ‘sexy’ again after having the treatment.

And the Titanic star encouraged other women who have seen their libido dip to look into their testosterone levels, believing that could be the reason why they’re put off sex.

Testosterone replacement therapy (known as TPT) is a prescription treatment that helps restore testosterone levels.

The mother-of-three said: ‘Sometimes women have a real dip in libido because there might be stuff going on with their thyroid.

‘There could also be stuff going on with your level of testosterone.

‘A lot of people don’t know this but women have testosterone in their body, when it runs out – like eggs – it’s gone, and once it’s gone you have to replace it and that is something that can be done and you’ll feel sexy again… I know.’

Kate was giving advice during a mini-agony aunt section in the How To Fail podcast.

A listener had asked for help to rediscover their sex drive.

Kate continued: ‘I would suggest for your physical self, have your thyroid levels checked and your testosterone levels checked well because those things could have a direct impact on how you’re actually feeling.

‘It’s not your fault, our bodies are weird and they behave in strange ways especially as we get older.

‘So there could be a dip in those hormonal levels for you that is contributing much more than you think to how you’re feeling about having sex with your boyfriend, so I would definitely go ahead and do that.’

Lee in Australian cinemas on October 24.
