Kate Winslet recycled a dress she first wore seven years ago when she showed up at the world premiere of Avatar: The Way Of Water in London on Tuesday night.
The 47-year-old actress – who plays Ronal in the picture – looked just as glamorous as when she first wore the dress when she arrived at the Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square.
She stunned in the gray dress with iridescent silver detailing along the neckline as she celebrated both the return of the Avatar franchise and her glittery piece of clothing.

Kate was first spotted in the form-fitting Badgley Mischka act at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her film The Dressmaker.
She has previously called spending money on red carpet looks “a waste of money” and has vowed to make her outfits sustainable.
In 2020, she shared her plans to recycle her old outfits, saying she would “let them out” to squeeze “my hot and disturbed mom-at-school body” into them.
“To make something that’s only going to be worn once … I’ve already decided I’m going to redo dresses,” she told Vanity Fair in 2020.

“Everything has to be rented out, but it doesn’t matter.”
“I don’t like arbitrarily squeezing my hot and dysfunctional body that my mom has at school into a red carpet dress that I will never wear again,” she added.
And Kate stayed true to her word at Tuesday’s Avatar premiere as she wowed viewers once again in her sparkling Badgley Mischka gown.
She accessorised them with a pair of glittery dangle earrings and excited photographers with her hands on her hips.

Guests all flocked to the venue to celebrate the highly anticipated Avatar sequel, while the first film is reportedly the highest-grossing film of all time.
The second film, titled Avatar 2: The Way of Water, brought back much of the original cast, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney and Stephen Lang, but also added Kate Winslet and Vin Diesel.
“Jake Sully lives on the planet Pandora with his newfound family,” reads the film’s IMDb page.
“When a familiar threat returns to end what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri and the army of the Na’vi race to protect their planet.”

The trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water was released just a month before the film’s December 16 release.
The trailer begins with members of the Na’vi riding on the backs of Ikrans and flying pterodactyl creatures, which they carry over a beautiful waterfall.
Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri take their children to another tribe seeking safe haven, while giant human-operated mechanical suits trample through a forest.

“Treat them like our brothers and sisters,” insists a leader of this other tribe as several individuals swim through crystal clear waters.
“Teach them our ways,” the voice continues, while a young voice calls one of Sully’s children “wood boy.”
Then you learn to ride a giant underwater eel. It emulates the scene from the first film when Sam Worthington’s character is taught to ride an ikran.
Titles cut into scenes of scenic landscapes refer to the film as “The Movie Event of a Generation”.
The Na’vi are then placed in a dangerous situation where humans are burning down their lands with giant flamethrowers, destroying almost everything in their path.
Just a few weeks before Avatar 2’s scheduled release, Sam Worthington announced that they’ve already started filming Avatar 3 and some scenes from Avatar 4.
The Australian actor, 46, returns in the 2009 sequel Avatar as Jake Sully, who has a new family on Pandora.
Avatar: The Way of Water will lead to Avatar 3, which is expected to hit theaters on December 20, 2024.

And Sam revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that between 80 and 90 percent of Avatar 3 has already been made into a movie.
“We filmed about 80%, 90% of three. We still owe a few scenes,’ Sam said, drawing a few breaths from the viewers.
He added that some scenes were already filmed for Avatar 4 simply because they involved children who would be too old to wait.
“And in Four, we shot a few scenes because the kids were getting older, so we have to do it before they get a little bit older,” he explained.
He added that a fifth film is also in the works “if we’re lucky enough to get it,” adding, “We’re not arrogant enough to assume there’s going to be a connection.”
It comes after James revealed the highly anticipated second Avatar film was “really bloody expensive” to shoot.

Last month, the respected director didn’t provide exact figures on the cost, but called it “the worst business case in movie history.”
He told GQ: “You have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history. This is your threshold. This is your breakeven point.”
According to Variety, the first Avatar film is reportedly the highest-grossing film of all time.
