Jessica Biel is absolutely gorgeous. Since her film debut in 1997’s ‘Ulee’s Gold’, Biel has acted in several TV shows and movies, and she usually looks stunning in all of them. But in the 2012 thriller ‘Tall Man’, Biel transformed into someone else.
Playing a suburban nurse that’s desperately trying to save her son from an ominous abductor, Biel wears no makeup throughout the film, and the little she wears is to make her look exhausted, pale and gritty.
Jennifer Hudson
For her role as the iconic Winnie Mandela in the 2011 biopic, Jennifer Hudson lost a lot of weight. In fact, she lost so much that the director asked her to gain a few pounds!
Hudson started an extreme diet with Weight Watchers and nailed a nearly perfect South African accent. All in all, this former American idol singer was totally unrecognizable on screen.
Lea Michele
Lea Michele's role as Rachel, on the popular TV show 'Glee', was not exactly known for her popularity or great sense of fashion. But in real life, Lea Michele is slim, stylish and very interested in health and wellness.
This just goes to show the actress's talent, which included a beautiful voice on the show too.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow made her debut back in 1989, when she acted in ‘High’, a TV movie directed by her father. Since then, she has starred in a number of films, in which she has kept more or less the same appearance. Except for when she played Rosemary in ‘Shallow Hal’, of course.
Playing an extremely overweight woman, and Jack Black’s love interest in the film, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a fat suit and had a lot of makeup magic done. This Goop leading lady looked anything but healthy, and she was absolutely unrecognizable. Thankfully, everything went back to normal when production ended.
Tina Fey
Legendary comedienne Tina Fey is known for putting wit and brains before beauty, and she actually enjoys looking absolutely ridiculous on screen.
In her show, '30 Rock', Liz Lemon isn't exactly what you'd call sexy and feminine, but in real life, Tina Fey certainly knows how to clean up well and look absolutely gorgeous and elegant. Fans adore her, whatever she chooses to look like.
