When it comes to red-carpet fashion, Kate Winslet has certainly had some titanic successes.

The British actress, 45, has long been one of Hollywood's most elegant stars, pulling out timeless gown after timeless gown for awards ceremonies and premieres.

Her penchant for a classic little black dress dates back to her earliest years, after her breakout role in 1994's Heavenly Creatures. While her staples then veered towards '90s fabrics and cuts, The Reader actress has transitioned to more modern silhouettes in recent years.

Winslet, who has Baftas, Golden Globes, an Emmy and an Oscar in her trophy cabinet, often turns to form-fitting numbers from designers including Jenny Packham, Saint Laurent and Valentino.

While she tends to stick to block colours, she has dabbled with punchy shades in the past, from scarlets to royal blues, and pulls out a statement midi from time to time, with Victoria Beckham and Herve Leger among her arsenal.

Winslet also helped to propel label Ben de Lisi to fame, often sporting the US-born designer on the red carpet in the noughties.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.

The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.

Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.

However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.

Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.
