Onlookers could be forgiven for doing a double take as Mia Threapleton took to the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
Gracing the red carpet in forest green, the budding star, 24, was her famous mother's doppelganger at the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme at Palais des Festivals.
Looking the mirror image of the Hollywood heavyweight mother, Kate Winslet, Mia – who stars in The Phoenician Scheme alongside Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and Puerto Rican star Benicio del Toro – posed in a strapless gown with a dramatic train and burnt orange appliqué leaves adding dimension to the bodice.

The star of The Buccaneers, who is Kate's only daughter with her ex-husband Jim Threapleton, opted for a deep green look reminiscent of the iconic dress her mother wore to the 1998 Academy Awards, where Titanic, in which she played female lead Rose Bukater, took home 11 Oscars.

Kate, who is also a mother to 21-year-old Joe Anders with her film director ex-husband Sam Mendes, shares a close bond with her daughter. Though movie-making is in Mia's blood (her father is a film director), her mother is adamant that she had made her own success.

On sharing the screen with her mother, Mia said: "It was quite frightening at times, because both of us were going into extremely emotionally intense places. I remember [Kate] saying to me when we started, 'We can’t be sad all the time. We have to be able to come home and have a lovely cup of tea and a biscuit'."
