She looked beautiful as she walked the Cannes carpet in a Oscar De La Renta dress.
The emerald green, embroidered outfit held a striking resemblance to the one her famous mum wore when she was 22-years-old, at the 1998 Oscars.
Ahead of her Cannes appearance, she told The Sunday Times: 'I'm going to be like a little shaking leaf!'
It's none other than Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton.

Mia Threapleton looked every inch the star in a floor length green gown with gold leaf detail.
Kate, 49, shares Mia with her film director ex-husband Jim Threapleton.
The former couple met in 1997 on the set of Hideous Kinky - in which Kate starred as Julia - and went on to tie the knot in1998.
However they split in 2001 - just a year after welcoming Mia.
Mia's first acting role came in 2014 when she landed a small part in period drama film A Little Chaos alongside Kate, who had the starring role of Sabine de Barra.

She later worked with her mum again in 2022 in BAFTA-winning Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth.
Discussing working with Mia on I Am Ruth during an appearance on Lorraine, Kate said: '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.'
Recently, Mia starred as Honoria Marable in the Apple TV+ historical drama series The Buccaneers.
Kate is of course one the most famous actors in the world and landed her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in 1998 after her role in Titanic.
Mia has previously told how her mum has been nothing but support of her career.
'She was very, very encouraging. But she always – I mean, always – emphasised the hard work that goes into it,' she said.
At Cannes, Mia was photographed alongside Wes Anderson, Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Yusr Feature Jury Member, Abu Bakr Shawky, Jeffrey Wright, Benedict Cumberbatch and Alexandre Desplat.
