Another day, another award: Kate Winslet attends the 37th Cesar Film Awards at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France
Kate Winslet may only be in her mid-30s, but her latest public appearance led to comparisons with someone almost 20 years her senior.
The actress, 36, bore an uncanny resemblance to Madonna during a jaunt to Paris.
As she made her way into the Theatre du Chatelet for the Cesar awards, Kate channeled the Queen of Pop, who is 53.
Winner! The actress collects her award in a dress with a plunging neckline
Kate wore a daring dress with a plunging neckline for the event, where she received an honorary César Award.
The French Academy of Cinematic Arts and Techniques recently announced that it will pay tribute to Winslet's life and acting career by honouring her with the French equivalent of the Academy Award.
Director Quentin Tarantino received the award last year and other previous recipients include Meryl Streep, Spike Lee, Jean-Luc Godard and Ingrid Bergman.

The actress will no doubt put the award next to her three Golden Globe awards as well as the Best Actress Academy Award she won for her role in The Reader.
As if resembling someone older than her wasn't bad enough, earlier in the day Kate's crow's feet were highlighted when she arrived at the Ritz Hotel.
Kate could do nothing to hide them as she raised a smile while entering the plush hotel.

All in black: The actress arrived at the hotel in a simple yet chic ensemble
She wore a smart all-black ensemble comprised an LBD, a blazer, peep toe heels and a small handbag.
The actress was accompanied by her partner Ned Rocknroll to the event - he wore a matching grey blazer and waistcoat with a white shirt, dark grey trousers and a pair of black shoes.
Kate youthful looks landed her a contract as the face of Lancôme.

In March 2010 the actress appeared to have had her face airbrushed in an advert for the make-up company.
Understandable when one's face is being splashed across huge posters in city's and towns around the world.
However, in 2003 she complained when a GQ magazine cover shot was digitally altered to make her look slimmer.

And only two years ago she proclaimed: ‘I have wrinkles which are very evident.
'I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, “You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?”’
Perhaps a glance at last year's remarkably flattering portraits convinced her that sometimes a little perfection doesn’t hurt.

She wore her blonde hair slicked back on the sides with the top styled into a pompadour.
The optical illusion dress, from Stella McCartney’s Winter 2011 collection, is known accentuating the best parts of a woman's figure, while camouflaging flaws.
Well aware that it makes her fabulous figure look even more amazing, Kate has stuck with his winning formula.
In September the Berkshire native donned a white version for première of her HBO film Mildred Pierce at the Venice Film Festival.
Midlren Pierce recently earned Kate an Emmy Award and she is hoping for more awards season recognition with her latest film.

Oscar winners Jodie Foster and Christoph Waltz co-star in the comedic drama, although the two were not able to make to the the French capital for the glitzy première.

Estefan, who is based in Miami, is promoting her new record Miss Little Havana, which will be released on September 27.

Whoops! Kate Winslet put in a stunning turn at the red carpet premiere of her new mini-series Mildred Pierce in New York tonight, but was let down by peach fuzz on her face which was clearly visible under the flashbulbs
Her stunning outfit certainly ensured she stole the spotlight from the younger co-star.
But for Kate Winslet, it was the unforgiving light of the flashbulbs which let her down at the première of her new mini-series tonight in New York.
Unfortunately the 35-year-old star was sporting some unsightly peach fuzz on her face, which was accentuated by foundation which was too pale for her complexion.

Perhaps if the Oscar-winning actress had left the make-up to absorb into her skin for a little longer before being photographed, it wouldn't have highlighted the hair so pertinently.
Winslet was joined by her co-stars, including the stunning Evan Rachel Wood, 23, who plays her on-screen daughter in the HBO mini-series Mildred Pierce.
Evan looked immaculate in a plum long sleeve jersey cocktail dress and matching peep-toe platforms both by Elie Saab.

'There's nothing I hate': Kate Winslet shows off her hourglass curves in a Victoria Beckham dress in the April edition of U.S. Glamour magazine
Watching oneself onscreen for hours at a time would cause body issues for even the most confident.
But Kate Winslet has revealed that she has no intention of using plastic surgery to keep her youthful appearance.
'No, I have never tried any of that stuff. I don’t have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else’s or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are,' she said.
Kate was talking to the April edition of U.S. Glamour magazine, for which she posed in a figure-hugging Victoria Beckham dress.
Kate admitted that she hadn't always been as confident in her looks.

‘When I was heavy, people would say to me - and it was such a backhanded compliment - they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face.'
'In the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable.' ‘
The 35-year-old also recalled the moment she won her best actress Oscar in 2009.
Kate joked: ‘I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. 'I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.
‘Winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid.
'For me, it was an internal-fist-pumping moment of yes.’

She said the recognition hadn't changed her aims as an actress.
'I have just wanted to be an actress,' she said. 'That’s always been my goal.
'I didn’t want to be famous. I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.'
But although she didn't aim to become famous, there is no denying that Kate is now a household name.
That, she revealed, had brought problems of it's own - not least the difficulty of raising a 'normal' family.
‘The challenge is making sure that they’re never treated different just because I sometimes am,' she said of her children Mia, 10, and Joe, seven.
‘I always want them to be regular kids who are grateful and respectful of other human beings.’
Kate, who last year split from her film director husband of six years, Sam Mendes, also revealed how proud she is of her children.
‘I want them to know that when we fly first-class, that they are lucky,' she said. 'The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids — and I can say that this does happen frequently — is when the in-flight crew say to me, "Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved."
