Michelle Keegan surprises fans with New Year's Eve transformation

Michelle Keegan fans are used to seeing the stylish actress rock brunette locks.

But on New Year's Eve, the former Corrie star looked totally unrecognisable as she transformed into a blonde bombshell.

The reason? She hosted an epic fancy dress bash alongside her hubby Mark Wright and the couple pulled out all the stops.

Michelle channeled Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe opting for the classic white dress finished with the famous platinum blonde locks.

Radio host Mark also took a surprising approach, opting to become Marilyn Manson for the night, donning white face paint, a black wig and blue eyeshadow.

Posting picture from the celebration to his Instagram page, Mark, 32, wrote: "Marilyn and Marilyn threw 1 helluva fancy dress NYE bash last night.

"What a way to see in the new year, all of our friends and family in 1 room having the time of our lives.

"Thanks for being there you lot and happy new year to everybody."

Adding a bit more context to the costumes he added: "p.s the theme was, something beginning with the first letter of your first name !!"

And fans absolutely loved the temporary makeover.

"Oh wow & wow stunning as always! @michkeegan actually does look like Marilyn Monroe! absolute beauty #girlcrush."

Another said: "You both look amazing."

"You two look fantastic," said a third.

But others were stunned by another guests costume.

Mark's sister Jess Wright welcomed in 2020 by dressing up as Julia Robert's Pretty Women character Vivian Ward.

The reality store rocked the character's iconic blue sequin cut out minidress and vinyl thigh-high boots. 

"Omg @jesswright77 as Julia Roberts is epic," said one follower.

Another added: "That is the best pretty woman I have ever seen!!!!"

"@jesswright77 wins," another declared.
