A famous actress looked unrecognisable as she attended a celebratory lunch hosted by Range Rover and Harper’s Bazaar ahead of the Wimbledon Ladies’ singles final on Saturday.

The star, 45, who has appeared in several hit blockbusters, was unrecognisable as she relaxed in the Range Rover suite before heading to Centre Court to watch Barbora Krejcikova, 28, and Jasmine Paolini, 28, battle it out for the title. 

The actress, who previously received her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a hit drama series, looked incredible as she cut a stylish figure in a grey suit. 

Styling her locks in loose curls for the outing and wearing a flawless palette of makeup, the screen star looked unrecognisable from her character’s usual getup. 

But can you guess who it is yet?

Gwendoline’s role in the Netflix series is as Nevermore Academy’s principal, Larissa Weems, whose director Tim Burton gave her creative freedom to invent.

She said: ‘It is the first time I’ve ever felt beautiful on screen. I cannot express my extreme gratitude more heartily to Tim and Colleen and our hair and makeup team.’

During a recent interview, Gwendoline told Entertainment Weekly: ‘He said, ‘You can do whatever you like with the character, feel free to make it whatever you want and we’ll keep talking about it’.

‘What kept coming to me was this idea of this Hitchcock-style heroin, this screen siren, that maybe that young woman would look to our mystic portal, the cinema, to be an incarnation of her fantasies.’

‘And weirdly, Tim had exactly the same idea and so did [costume designer] Colleen Atwood.’

Gwendoline revealed how she was inspired to create the classic idea of femininity, but with a twist, which she said was the opposite of herself. 

She said that Hitchcock heroines are often plagued by trauma but have a strong sense of ambition and are willing to risk high-stakes situations.

The Brienne of Tarth actress, said: ‘It is the first time I’ve ever felt beautiful on screen.’

‘I cannot express my extreme gratitude more heartily to Tim and Colleen and our hair and makeup team.’

‘Colleen Atwood is rightfully a legend, and what she does is close to witchcraft in terms of transformation. It is an honour of my life to work with Colleen and to work with Tim.’

Wednesday follows the high school years of Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega as a student at Nevermore Academy.

It’s Gwendoline Christie from Game Of Thrones of course! The actress rose to fame in the HBO fantasy-drama series after portraying Brienne of Tarth, the sole surviving child and heir of Lord Selwyn Tarth

During her time at the school she, ‘attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorised the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago – all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.’
