What a transformation! Lindsay Lohan is barely recognisable playing Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra

She's come under fire by some after being cast as iconic Elizabeth Taylor, but no one can deny that Lindsay Lohan looks the part.

The troubled Hollywood starlet might have had a tumultuous career, but she seems to have put her all into new biopic Liz and Dick, which premieres this November.

Starring as the Hollywood icon at various stages of her career, the 26-year-old has managed to physically embody the star in a set of newly released stills from the TV film.

Taking on the challenge of mimicking the actress in her best known role, Cleopatra, Lindsay wears a straight black wig and strikingly similar green eye make-up. 

Lindsay plays the star when she was at the height of her fame, starring in the Oscar-winning 1963 film.

The TV film centres on the tempestuous relationship between Taylor and husband Richard Burton, played by Grant Bowler.

Lindsay and Grant attempt to recreate the couple's famous moments captured on film, and take on the difficult task of capturing their renowned chemistry.

 

Portraying Taylor - who died in 2011 - in her later years, Lindsay dons a cropped black wig and heavy sunglasses.

The 26-year-old might be trying to embody a woman forty years older than her, but the finished effect is nearly spot on.

 Lindsay has recently spoken out about the role, comparing herself to the Hollywood legend:

''I’m a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan, and I relate to her on a lot of levels — living in the public eye, dealing with the stress of what other people say, whether it’s true or not.'

'I personally understand Liz, because you’re living your life for everyone to see, and people are growing with you,' she said.
