(CBS) Sometimes, when a wax figure of a celebrity is unveiled, it looks little to nothing like the person it's supposed to be.

But Madame Tussauds' replica of Kate Winslet is definitely not one of those cases.

The Oscar-winner's wax figure was unveiled in London on Wednesday, and bears a striking resemblance to the British star.

The replica is dressed up as Winslet at this year's Emmy Awards, wearing a recreation of the red, cap-sleeved Elie Saab dress the actress wore to the ceremony. She won an Emmy for her starring role in the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce."

The wax figure is on display at the museum next to two other female British stars - replicas of Dames Helen Mirren and Judi Dench.
