Is Mila Kunis the new Angelina Jolie?

If Angelina Jolie ever needed an understudy, she might find one in the form of rising star Mila Kunis.

Last night the Black Swan actress stepped out looking like the Hollywood A-lister's doppelgänger at a New York red carpet event.

The 27-year-old star dressed demurely in a white trouser suit which looked strikingly similar to one worn by Angelina back in 2009 at the premiere of her partner Brad Pitt's movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Like the Lara Croft star, Mila has also taken on action roles, namely in the 2010 movie The Book of Eli, and played a younger version of Jolie in her 1998 film Gia.

And over recent months, as she has seen her profile bolstered by the success of her latest movie, Mila has been favourably compared to Jolie.

With their full lips, wide eyes and high cheek bones, it's not hard to see why.
In a recent interview, 27-year-old Mila described the comparison to 35-year-old Jolie as 'absurd', but added that she wouldn't argue with it.

'I'm like, "Dude, thank you. Really? You truly believe that? You need glasses or contacts",' she told the Ministry of Gossip website at a recent Hollywood dinner.
'But I won't argue with that,' she said of the parallel. 'I think it's absurd, but I'll take it.'

Like Jolie, Mila has seen her weight fluctuate - she lost 20lbs (1st 6lbs) for her portrayal of Natalie Portman's understudy in the psycho-sexual ballet thriller Black Swan.

Now the question is whether Mila can seize the moment and see her star rise as high as Jolie's and secure a firm place in the Hollywood A-list set.

'It doesn't happen very often and I'm not sure it'll happen again,' Kunis said of the attention she's been receiving recently. 'It's this ride that will ultimately end, but I'm trying to enjoy it.'

Last night Mila joined the likes of Russell Brand, Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley and Thor star Chris Hemsworth at Cosmopolitan magazine's Fun Fearless Males Of 2011 event at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City.
