Is Kate turning into Keira?

They have the same tousled blonde hair, dramatic eyes and sultry pout.
And increasingly, it seems, the same slender figure as well.
If these pictures are anything to go by, Kate Winslet appears to have been sharing more than a few style tips with Keira Knightley.
At 20, Miss Knightley's star is rising rapidly in Hollywood after roles ranging from Pirates of the Caribbean to Pride and Prejudice.
Miss Winslet, on the other hand, has spoken of turning down parts to spend as much time as possible with her two young children.
But in a photoshoot for Elle magazine, the 30-year-old actress is back in business with a glamorous new look. She is also said to be a stone lighter.
She confessed to starving herself because she had to appear naked in her latest movie, Romance and Cigarettes, which also stars Susan Sarandon and James Gandolfini.
She plays an 18-year-old lingerie salesgirl who has a passionate affair with Gandolfini's character.
'You have never seen anything funnier; the make-up trailer was like Extreme Makeover,' she told Elle. '(The part) is something I will never be doing again. Ever.
'I starved myself for a week. I was completely paranoid about the whole thing. I've had two kids! And I had to walk across a room naked.
'Obviously I have my fat days and days where I go, "Oh my God, I've got such floppy boobs and my bum's too big". But at the same time I would never try to really physically change how I'm built to get more work or different work.'
Her flawless looks in the Elle photos could also owe a little to the airbrusher.

Michelle Facey, a make-up artist and digital imaging photographer, said: 'There has been some definite photographic re-touching here.
'Kate looks absolutely stunning - but nothing like a woman of 30.'
Miss Knightley shares Miss Winslet's frank approach to her appearance.
' I don't like my legs,' she said recently. 'A good pair of legs on someone else always makes me jealous. I don't have any tits so I can't show cleavage. The only part I really like is my stomach.
'Airbrushing is sort of nice because I always get acne, so it's all incredibly nice when they take it out digitally.'
