All of the most epic celebrity TV & movie beauty transformations

As a natural blonde who went red for her iconic role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, it's quite funny that it somehow feels strange to see Turner grace the screen with her real blonde hair. Of course, it comes with a twist, as her role as the titular character in upcoming ITVX series Joan also seems to include a vintage-style chop and some serious root shadowing.

We all know and love Lipa's signature look (raven hair with serious Cher energy), but she's just revealed her transformation into one of the Barbie film's many gorgeous 'dolls', and her sapphire mermaid mane has us seriously envious.

Gaga always takes her character work seriously, so it's no surprise that we're in awe of her latest transformation. Taking on the role of Harley Quinn (an iconic one, no doubt) in Joker: Folie à Deux, the actress debuted full face paint and slicked-back strands while filming on the streets of New York.

Stepping into the shoes of an icon like Marilyn Monroe is a tough task, there's no doubt, but De Armas' big transformation for the upcoming biopic Blonde is definitely boding well for the accuracy of her performance. Everything from the hair to the lipstick (as well as the iconic beauty mark) is perfect.

Another beloved blonde being brought to life on the big screen? Barbie, of course! Robbie is picture perfect in her latest role as the Barbie girl herself with her bright blonde blowout rightfully taking centre stage.

An Oscar wasn't the only thing Hathaway got out of her role in Les Misérables; she also came out with a new crop. Chopping her hair to play beloved Broadway favourite Fantine in the 2012 film, Hathaway was offered the option of a wig, but wanted to truly commit to the character.

James basically broke Twitter with the reveal of her transformation into living, breathing icon Pamela Anderson for Hulu's upcoming series Pam & Tommy. Not only was she totally unrecognisable, but she looked like the spitting image of Anderson, all the way from the eyeliner and the wig to the, er, assets.

Grande transformed herself into several iconic movie characters in her infamous "Thank U, Next" video (Jenna Rink and Elle Woods among them), but the standout has to be her take on Regina George. The role saw her donning a blonde wig and a lot of lip gloss, and we must admit, she looks very fetch.

Theron's role as Fox News host Megyn Kelly for the 2019 film Bombshell required some hefty work in the prosthetics department. It started with widening her nostril holes (yep) and ended with "creating Megyn's over Charlize's eyelid," according to the movie's makeup and prosthetics artist Kazu Hiro.

Stone is a star, there’s no doubt: we’d trust her to take on any character under the sun. Cruella de Vil, however, is no ordinary character, and so fans waited with bated breath to see what she looked like with that iconic black and white wig, wing and red lippy. Luckily, we were not disappointed, and Cruella is set to be one of 2021's biggest hits.

Delevingne has definitely rocked some bold looks on and off the red carpet, but her stint as Enchantress in 2016’s Suicide Squad was on a whole other level. How much was CGI and how much was makeup? We may never know. What we do know, though, is that she pulled the look off like a pro.

If you’re ever in a conversation with someone who dares to question Blanchett’s versatility (or her makeup/hair team's talents), show them this picture of her as Bob Dylan from 2007 biopic I’m Not There, and watch them question whether it’s even an actor at all. The wig, the brows, the facial expression; it’s just perfection.

Next time we’re whinging about waterproof mascara removal, we’ll take a moment of silence for Lawrence, who sat through an eight hour process each day to play Mystique in the X-Men series. So what did it entail? First, a scale application session (oh, sure), before three layers of blue paint and another five of what she called a “splattering effect” were airbrushed on. Intense? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.

Robbie was certainly serving up a different kind of hair-spo throughout her stint as Queen Elizabeth I in 2018’s Mary Queen of Scots, but hey, you’ve got to give it to her: she puts 110 per cent into her characters. So how did makeup artist Jenny Shircore do it? She changed “her skin, her eyebrows, her nose, her lips"; in other words, just about everything.

There was definitely an, um, interesting response to Stewart's casting announcement but a first glimpse of her in character as Princess Diana in the upcoming film Spencer no doubt nipped concerns in the bud. It seems no expense is being spared in paying homage to the Princess' incredible beauty legacy, and for that we are eternally grateful.

An Internet-wide meltdown occured when pictures of Lively with a shaggy brunette crop surfaced, and it's easy to see why. Our initial thoughts? What in the Serena van der Woodsen is this and who would dare harm that lustrous golden mane? The panic was short lived though; it was merely a (very convincing) wig for her role in 2020's The Rhythm Section.

We personally don't think Jolie needs any help in the 'having razor-sharp cheekbones' department, but hell, a Disney villain as infamous as Maleficent demands a little OTT action. Prosthetic cheekbones weren't the only thing the team added for the 2014 film though. She also wore a subtle nose piece, pointy ears and particularly sharp molars (which really popped against that blood red lip, we must say).
