Maura Higgins looked unrecognisable in a red wig as she posed for a quirky new shoot with Original Magazine on Monday.
The former Love Islander, 34, showcased her striking looks for the project where she looked worlds away from her usual bikini-clad self.
In one snap she rocked the dark red wig, in contrast to her usual sleek brunette locks, and opted for a vampy makeup look complete with a statement lip.
She wore a ruffled black dress as she posed up a storm for the publication – as she spoke about her upcoming stint on the The Traitors USA in the accompanying interview.
In another striking shot she wore a tight leather dress that showed off her figure and accessorised with a huge hat.
She displayed a long black manicure to add to the look as she fixed the camera with a sultry stare.

It was confirmed this month that Maura was in the line-up for the US version of The Traitors.
Speaking about the new project she told the publication: ‘It’s such a different kind of show for me!
‘There’s huge game-play drama, strategy… and some seriously big personalities. I can’t say too much yet about how it all played out, but let’s just say viewers are going to be absolutely hooked. I’m really excited to see it!’
It comes after last week Maura finally fulfilled her life-long ‘dream’ as she was seen moving out of her humble home into her plush £1.25million mansion in Essex.
The Irish star always dreamed of making big time – and thanks to Love Island – she has amassed an estimated £3.2million after breaking America with huge TV roles.
Maura has taken the showbiz world by storm, presenting Love Island USA, starring in I’m A Celebrity and her latest upcoming gig in The Traitors US.
She always knew she wasn’t destined to stay in rural Ireland, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon.
‘But that’s not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father’s and boyfriend’s dream. I wanted to do more,’ Maura defiantly declared.

The girl from remote County Longford splashed her hard-earned cash on a five-bedroom semi-detached house, Daily Mail revealed earlier this year.
Maura has been sharing glimpses of her new abode after finally moving in last month.
She posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle.
‘After the busiest few months… she’s finally in,’ the former Love Island star captioned the snap.
Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: ‘No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.’
Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms.
Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption ‘Bought my dream house’.
An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn.
Maura’s previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.
