Kate Beckinsale looked worlds away from herself at the opening of The Rocky Horror Show in London on Tuesday.
The Hollywood actress, 51, is often pictured looking glamorous for red carpet occasions, but instead decided to channel the themes of the cult musical.
Kate hid her honeyed locks under a dark red wig and covered her face in white face paint, completing the look with bloodied cheeks and red lipstick.
The Van Helsing star looked every bit like the character Columbia in her sequined gold suit and matching top hat.
The character was played by Nell Campbell in the 1975 film adaptation of the stage musical and is a part of the risque number Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me.

Another snap revealed that Kate teetered to the event on huge heels as she posed next to a friend who had dressed up as the character of The Usherette, who belts out the opening number Science Fiction.
Richard O’Brien’s spooky musical started life as a parody of B-movies and opened in the West End in 1973 before being adapted into a movie starring Tim Curry two years later.
The show features hit songs like Time Warp and Dammit Janet and has stopped in the West End amid a huge UK tour.
Jason Donovan is starring in the role of Sweet Transvestite Frank-N-Furter, having already played roles in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert since his days as a pop singer in the 80s.
Speaking about the role, the Neighbours legend told Heat Magazine: ‘I’m a fan. I love the show, I love the music, I love the character.
‘I was touring my own show about five years ago and included Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror as a key moment in my musical career.
‘It went down a storm. Rocky Horror is like panto for adults.’
