EMMY-WINNING COSTUME DESIGNER KATE CARIN ON MIA THREAPLETON AND HOW THE YOUNG ACTRESS TAKES AFTER HER FAMOUS AND EQUALLY FUN - MUM
HELLO! UK|November 13, 2023
Kate Winslet and Mia Threapleton are the ultimate mother-and-daughter duo, whose powerful performances opposite each other in Bafta-winning drama I Am Ruth last year proved that Mia has inherited her mum’s acting prowess.

EMMY-WINNING COSTUME DESIGNER KATE CARIN ON MIA THREAPLETON AND HOW THE YOUNG ACTRESS TAKES AFTER HER FAMOUS AND EQUALLY FUN - MUM

And if there’s anyone who has seen first hand how the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, it’s costume designer Kate Carin.

In 1998, she dressed a 22-year-old Kate Winslet in one of the actress’s first roles – in the film Hideous Kinky, where Kate met Mia’s father, director Jim Threapleton, to whom she was married from 1998 to 2001.

Two and a half decades later, the Emmy Award-winning designer is thrilled to have worked with Mia, 23, too, creating a sumptuous period wardrobe for the young actress’s role as Honoria Marable in new Apple TV+ show The Buccaneers.

“She’s definitely one to watch,” says Kate of Mia, as she joins HELLO! for an exclusive interview to share all the stylish secrets from behind the scenes of the eight-part period drama, which begins streaming this week.

“I think it’s a blessing and a curse to be the daughter of somebody as well known as Kate, but Mia is magical. I feel as though she’s got the whole world ahead of her.

“I would imagine Kate is a great mum,” adds designer Kate. “She gets it. Mia is going through what Kate went through at that age and I guess she’d be a great source of support.

“I don’t know if it’s nature or nurture, but that girl is professional through and through, and Kate is professional through and through. Kate likes to have great fun but knows when she’s got to be taken seriously, and Mia was the same: excellent fun.”
