'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' Star Shailene Woodley Praises Kate Winslet For Her Role In Film

"The Divergent Series: Allegiant" star Shailene Woodley recently gushed over her co-star Kate Winslet.

According to Variety, Woodley and Winslet were honorees at Elle Magazine's annual Women in Hollywood awards.

On Monday night, the actress offered some kind words for Winslet during the said event.

"Kate, you offer so much wisdom, simply in your example of self-love. It is the greatest gift to the female Queendom to have you as our pillar, and anchor, and advocate for not only accepting, but appreciating and celebrating every element of our feminine forms," she said.

Meanwhile, Winslet followed Woodley on the podium to share some equally kind words about the actress.

"I didn't pay her to say that, by the way. And I didn't make out with her, either," she joked.

The "Titanic" actress passed on the gratitude to her good friend Emma Thompson.

"I feel I want to mention my dear friend Emma Thompson, who showed me... I mean, Meryl, come on! It was her, or you, frankly!"

The actress continued to talk about her daughter Mia, who has learned the importance of self-love at a very young age.

"My daughter looks at herself in the mirror every day and she tells me she's happy being her," she revealed.

In other news, Woodley and Winslet first worked together in "Divergent." Later on, they also worked in "Insurgent," and now in "Allegiant."

Although Winslet plays the role of a villainous character named Jeanine Matthews, she and Woodley share a close bond outside the set.

On the fan-made Instagram account @planetshailene, a video of Woodley talking about Winslet at Monday night's event was posted.
