Confirmed: Kate Winslet to Play Vivienne Westwood

It has been finally confirmed that Kate Winslet will play the role of Vivienne Westwood in the upcoming biopic of the famous designer. “The script is going well and Kate will play Vivienne,” the Westwood representative said. “It has been a long time in the planning but we’re very excited that it’s happening.” Reportedly, Kate has been spending time with the eccentric designer to refine her portrayal for the film role. The biopic will follow Westwood’s life from her punk roots to her rise to international fame as one of fashion’s best. The film has not yet been named by Universal. Note that Universal will release the much anticipated biopic of Mademoiselle Chanel, Coco Avant Chanel, next year with Audrey Tatou to play the fashion icon. I cannot wait for that one!
