Edgy Actress Transformations

Jessica Chastain Channels a Punk for W Magazine

Steven Klein captures W Magazine's latest cover story that boasts a dramatic actress transformation. The cover story's star Jessica Chastain is known for an impressive acting resume and pulls off a series of looks that are unexpected and punk-inspired.

W Magazine's most recent actress transformation is executed with heavy eyeliner, pink hair and edgy wardrobe staples. Hair stylist Shay Ashual works with makeup artist Sammy Mourabit to transform Jessica's red-haired and natural look while stylist Edward Enninful curates her wardrobe.

In addition to her fuchsia tresses, the award-winning actress also dons a platinum-haired pixie cut. Though associated with a more classic Old Hollywood look, Jessica Chastain proves she can pull off any character transformation. Highlighting staples from Givenchy Haute Couture, Proenza Schouler and Atelier Versace, this mage series shows off the conservative star's wild side.
