Naomi Watts debuted a striking new red hair colour

The Birdman actress showed off her show-stopping new look in a striking close-up snap posted on Instagram, which saw her auburn tresses worn down in tumbling curls, paired with winged eyeliner for ultimate glamour.

Although her followers immediately took to social media to praise the star's new 'do, it could be that the look is only temporary or even a wig, as Naomi explained in the caption that her red locks are actually part of her role in her upcoming film The Bleeder.

"You lookin' at me?" she quipped in the caption. "First day on set with #LievSchreiber for #TheBleeder #LindaWepner #ChuckWepner #backtowork."

The star usually has light blonde hair

Naomi is set to play Linda Wepner in the upcoming drama inspired by the life of heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner – and her long-term partner Liev Schreiber will play the leading role.

Just a few days before, the King Kong star was enjoying a Thanksgiving break, revealing she and her loved ones had indulged in a delicious feast. Showing off her sense of humour, Naomi posted a photo of herself donning a chef's hat and posing by the turkey, before admitting she had not actually taken part in the cooking of the main course, but had made the desserts.
