She wears it well: Ivana Trump steps out in bandage dress at 62

It's the dress that has flattered the curves of every Hollywood A-lister from Catherine Zeta-Jones to Kate Winslet.
And now Ivana Trump has stepped out in the Herve Leger bandage dress, reaping the benefits of the tummy-tucking material.
The 62-year-old looked like she had the body of a woman decades younger in the hot pink frock at the de Grisogono dinner at Eden Roc, Hotel du Cap.

Ivana and her date for the evening, Italian playboy Massimo Gargia, stole the spotlight in their colourful ensembles.

Donald Trump's ex wore a zipped version of the iconic dress, first created in 1985 by Herve Leger.

The design became a celebrity favourite again after Max Azria relaunched the Herve Leger brand in 2007, and has remained a red carpet fixture ever since.
They have been dubbed the dress version of Spanx underwear, thanks to its clinging elasticised material which pulls in any lumps and bumps.
Ivana was joined at the party by another A-lister who manages to defy the ageing process, 65-year-old Goldie Hawn.

Kate Winslet goes for the leggy look in a low-cut gown with the most daring of splits

In recent months Kate Winslet has barely been seen on the celebrity circuit, preferring instead to spend time with her two children.
But the actress showed she can still hold her own as she stepped out last night in New York.
Dressed in a black and white floor-length gown, slit daringly to the upper thigh, she looked every inch the Hollywood star.

The 35-year-old teamed her dress with a flattering updo, her hair twisted back.
Last week Kate was revealed as the new face of upmarket clothing brand St John, following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Karen Elson.
She told WWD: 'They want to keep it looking like me and not have it look like me pretending to be a model wearing these clothes.
'I'm obviously not a model. I'm not the size of a model. I don't have the face of a model or the shape of a model.'
Kate has remained single since the end of her eight-month relationship with English model Louis Dowler late last year.
The pair started dating after Winslet revealed she had separated from second husband, director Sam Mendes after seven years of marriage.
She was previously married to Jim Threapleton - father of her daughter Mia, 10, for three years.

Kate Winslet Biography

Name: Kate Winslet
Born: 5 October 1975 (Age: 35)
Where: Reading, England
Height: 5'8"
Awards: Won 1 Oscar, 2 BAFTAs and 2 Golden Globes

Kate Winslet is one of the UK's finest and most successful young actresses, winning an Oscar and being nominated on five other occasions before the age of 34. Yet she's more than just a celebrity thespian, having for the most part shunned major Hollywood productions in favour of smaller, more interesting, and often British pieces. Having at school weighed 185 pounds and suffered the nickname Blubber, she has also famously decried the pressures put upon young women by society and the film industry in particular.

Kate Elizabeth Winslet was born on October 5th, 1975, in Reading, Berkshire, to father Roger and mother Sally Bridges-Winslet. She has two sisters, Anna and Beth, and a brother named Joss. Acting was in the family. Two of her father's forebears - twins - appeared in vaudeville. Her mother's parents, Oliver and Linda, had run the Reading Repertory Theatre, and her uncle Robert Bridges had appeared in many productions, most notably as Mr Bumble in the original West End version of Oliver! Her father, too, was a thespian by trade (Anna and Beth have also followed this path), performing mostly onstage, but also appearing on a couple of episodes of Casualty, a show that provided one of Kate's earliest appearances.

Like most actors, Roger would often have trouble finding work, and in-between jobs would find employment as a postman, laying tarmac and with the National Trust. His efforts ensured there were never any real money problems, extra cash being brought in by Sally, a qualified nanny. Her profession meant that the Winslet home was often filled with other people's children. Kate would later say that the atmosphere was, if not hippy-like, then certainly bohemian, with an ongoing "sense of holiday".

This atmosphere changed somewhat when, with Kate just past her 10th birthday, Roger suffered a bad accident while on the water. Attempting to steer a large canal boat through a lock in France, his foot was caught in a whipping coil of rope and nearly severed. It was only the speed of the helicopter ambulance and the skill of the micro-surgeons that kept it attached. Kate and the others were told that, after a year of rehabilitation, her father would be back to normal, playing with them as usual. The fact that he was not and never would be, she said later, would cause a lingering feeling of bitterness and betrayal.

This did not prevent Kate from wholeheartedly pursuing her career - and even at this tender age, she did already consider acting to be her career, seizing stage parts wherever she could. As a child she'd wept when she won the part of Mary in the school nativity play "because it was so important to me".
