Kate Winslet hated having short hair so much she insists she will never repeat the look.

The 33-year-old actress sported a chin-length, textured bob at the New York premiere of her movie Hideous Kinky in 1999.

Looking at a photo taken on the night, Kate said: "Bless my heart. Well, my boobs look good. Yeah, that was my short haircut - I hated it. I would never do it again. You have to do short hair. It's like a nightmare. It's just not flattering to my face shape - at all."

Kate - who raises two children with husband Sam Mendes, daughter Mia, eight, and five-year-old son Joe - is happier with the fresh-faced look she boasted at the New York premiere of 2008's The Reader, where she had flowing blonde locks and a deep tan.

Kate told Allure magazine: "That was a damn fine look. I had just gotten back from vacation in the Turks and Caicos islands, and I was all nice and tan, and my hair had gone blonder.

"I don't lie out in the sun, and I always wear a high sun factor, so it was from literally just wandering around in the sun for a week, chasing after the kids and making sure nobody drowned in the sea."

Kate added the most important thing for her is that she is comfortable in what she chooses to wear, and is dressed appropriately for her age.

She favours a "relaxed" look of "clean, fresh skin" and barely-there make-up.
