Famed for her androgynous looks and unique style, Tilda Swinton has done a complete 360 when it comes to her latest movie role.

The actress, who is usually seen with porcelain pale skin and edgy short hair, appears in upcoming film Trainwreck with caramel coloured wavy tresses and skin showing off a fake tan most women would be proud of.

The 54-year-old actress, stars as magazine tyrant Dianna and is completely unrecognisable.

The look marks a drastic change for the British star, who is famed for playing eccentric characters in films such as Snowpiercer and the Chronicles of Narnia.

During an interview with Huffington Post, the Hollywood beauty talked about going incognito for the character - a Devil Wears Prada type magazine editor.

‘I’m delighted to say that I’m unrecognizable,’ she confessed. ‘I don’t know whether one would really want to be recognizable in this role.

‘It’s a lot of makeup and a kind of tandoori tan and a wig, and that’s all it takes.’

She later added: ‘But the truth is there are a lot of women walking around rocking Dianna’s look, and I suppose you maybe didn’t ever expect to see me in it.’

The film centres around a commitment-phobic career woman, played by American actress Amy Schumer, who meets a good guy as she struggles with her beliefs that monogamy was never possible.

Directed by Judd Apatow, the rom-com - which is released in cinemas on July 17 in the US and August 28 in the UK - also stars Vanessa Bayer, Randall Park, Colin Quinn, Josh Segarra and Dave Attell.

She plays a fashionable magazine editor in the breakout comedy, Trainwreck. But off screen Tilda Swinton was just as sartorially skilled when she showed up to the premiere in a Haider Ackermann jumpsuit.

The talented actress has developed a close relationship with the Columbian designer through the years, often seen wearing his slouchy androgynous creations to various events.

We love the plunging neckline and sharp tailoring of this versatile one-piece that resembles a formal blazer and pants combination. It hails from the Fall 2015 collection so you won't find it in stores just yet.

But if you're craving the monochrome look as much as we are, dive into our edit below for some affordable options including a near identical number from BCBG.

The blockbuster is scheduled to start filming in the UK in November with a release date of November 2016.
