Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton is her mother's double at BAFTA party

Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton was the spitting image of her as she dazzled at a BAFTA party.

The 22-year-old has followed in her mum's footsteps after she starred in Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth.

She mingled with fellow talent at the 2023 Vanity Fair Rising Star BAFTA pre-party at JOIA in London.

Mia was her mum's double as she stepped out in a one-shouldered black mini dress.

She added a pair of classic black stiletto heels and held a clutch bag in the same colour.

Her honey-toned locks rolled over her shoulders in loose waves, in a similar style to how her mum wears her hair.

Despite the similarities and interest in the same career path, Mia is a talented actress in her own right.

She starred alongside her mum in the TV drama I Am Ruth, where Kate plays concerned mother Ruth who tries to help her teenage daughter get through a mental health crisis.

Mia's character Freya becomes consumed by the pressures of social media, and her performance has been called "powerful" by viewers.

It was the first time that Kate worked with her daughter, who she shares with her ex-husband Jim Threapleton.

Speaking about her daughter's performance, she told Lorraine that she was "blown away".

Kate gushed: "As far as performance, she didn't need me at all. There are even moments where she'd look at me and go, 'Shut up Mum, let me do it!'

"It was really amazing working alongside her and actually being blown away by her courage… she's very, very powerful."

"I think this young generation of actors, I have to say there is a naturalism to their acting and they're just braver," she added.

"They have a voice, they speak up for themselves and they have a power that I feel I never really had."

"I am very very proud of [Mia], very proud of her indeed," Kate added.

Speaking about what it was like to play the role of Ruth, she admitted that she drew inspiration from her own life experiences.

"Naturally there was going to be some degree of overlap. We just wanted to make something that would hopefully resonate with people," she said.
