Kate Winslet believes women age like fine wine.

“Women get more beautiful as they get older, for sure,” the “Titanic” star, 48, told Harper’s Bazaar UK in an interview published last Friday.

“Our faces become more of who we are, they sit better on our bone structure, they have more life, more history,” she continued.

Winslet also shared that she finds wrinkles around the eyes and on the backs of hands “incredibly beautiful.”

But the “Holiday” star admitted her perception of beauty comes from within.

“I also have learned it’s important to take care of yourself from the inside — not just how you eat and look after yourself from a nutritional standpoint, but how you look after yourself from a mental wellness standpoint; how you feel about yourself emotionally, physically, your place within the world, how you walk through the world, how you live with integrity and sincerity,” she said.

Winslet explained that how people feel on the inside can directly impact how they are perceived on the outside.

“I think these things matter and these things come out in how we look, and of course in how we feel,” she said. “Beauty is more of a feeling, rather than what we look at.”

The actress believes that over time, society has become more accepting of the way women look as well as how they feel.

“When I first started out, it wasn’t the way around that women could have a voice and stand up for themselves,” she recalled. “It certainly wasn’t the case that you could ever flag something you were uncomfortable with, because that would be seen as complaining.”

Winslet noted that the shift in Hollywood following the #MeToo movement has created more roles for actresses of all ages.

“There are a lot of very new actresses doing incredible work, and I think all of that really contributes to an exciting industry that is full of people who know how to use their voices, and that becomes inspiring for others,” she gushed.

“Now, women are using their voices in a way that is remarkable, and that is how I, too, have learned my worth and how to use my voice.”

The Oscar winner infamously admitted in 2018 that she regretted working with Woody Allen after his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow accused him of sexually abusing her in 1992.

“I wouldn’t be able to stand here this evening and keep to myself some bitter regrets that I have at poor decisions to work with individuals with whom I wish I had not,” Winslet said while accepting the Dilys Powell Award for Excellence in Film at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards that year.

“It has become clear to me that by not saying anything, I might be adding to the anguish of many courageous women and men. Sexual abuse is a crime,” she continued. “While it rests with the rule of law to pass judgment, it lies with all of us to listen to the smallest of voices and to never stop listening.”
