The BAFTA TV Awards was a family affair for Kate Winslet and her daughter, Mia Threapleton. The pair, who both star in Channel 4’s emotional drama I Am Ruth, posed on the red carpet together ahead of the ceremony: Kate, in a one-shoulder black dress and Mia, in a two-tone halterneck jumpsuit.
The 22-year-old rising talent looked the spitting image of her famous mother—she channelled the pared-back style she has made her signature on the red carpet throughout her career and they both sported similar hairstyles.

Kate scooped the leading actress trophy for her rousing performance in I Am Ruth, which explores mental health crises among teenagers in relation to social media, while the Dominic Savage-directed film won the “single drama” category. The entire cast took to the stage at the Royal Festival Hall to collect the award and Kate delivered a heartfelt speech where she said, “If I could break it in half, I would give the other half to my daughter, we did this together, kiddo.”
“It was a really special experience… as a mother and daughter. I was given new things to respect and admire about my own child,” Kate Winslet previously told British Vogue of acting alongside her real-life first-born. “I wanted to cover areas of motherhood and being a mother that can sometimes be incredibly challenging and lonely.” The actor also revealed that “everything” was improvised: “There was no script… Every single word that came out of our mouths, we made up on the day.”
