Just yesterday we noted Kate Winslet embracing her girly side in a flirty frock, but last night she went sleek and sexy in a sheer cutout Stella McCartney dress. Talk about straight off the runway; that same dress was worn by model Natasha Poly earlier this month at the Stella McCartney Fall 2011 show!

When we saw this woman walking the streets of Paris (center photo), our jaws dropped — so gorgeous!
