For her breakout role as an awkward ABBA and wedding-obsessed girl, Collette gained over 40 pounds.

As a recovering drug-addict with a gorgeous voice, Collette sported bold liner, red lips, pale skin, and short, black hair.

Collette claims she loved being platinum so much in this film that she kept the color for months afterwards.

Collette looks unrecognizable in flame red hair and bright red lips for the film set in the 1970s.

With overly done 1950s makeup and hair, Collette sported tight red curls and matte, bold lips for the Oscar-winning film.

Portraying an earthy, single mother struggling with depression, Collette went with a short, spiky pixie cut, no makeup, and lots of headscarves.

Collette is a workaholic lawyer who discovers herself through dealing with her sister’s wild antics. In contrast to Diaz’ heavy makeup and blonde hair, Collette stuck with practical shoulder length brown hair and basic makeup to play the sensible, responsible sister.

Playing a suburban mom with multiple personalities in the former Showtime series “United States of Tara,” required multiple looks, here Collette channels the wilder personality with teeny bopper hair, exposed bra, and reddish eyeshadow.

Playing Alfred Hitchcock’s longtime production assistant, Collette wore a 1950s coif, painted brows, matte makeup, and a bold red lip.

Unkempt red hair, heavy eye makeup, and an edgy wardrobe was all it took to get the look of a kooky and wild nanny to five girls.

Of all the characters she has played, Collette said she shares a similar personal style to rock journalist Ellie Klug. Tousled blonde hair, defined eyes, and an endless supply of leather jackets captured the character’s downtown style.

Sunkissed bronzy makeup and highlighted hair helped Collette get into character as a single mother trying to make it work with the wrong guy,

To transform herself into a shy, single mother in “A Long Way Down,” Collette went with a simple ponytail and barely-there makeup.

Playing an alcoholic mother whose son is desperately trying to save her, Collette was bare-faced with messy hair and a constant look of despair.

While promoting her new film “Glassland” at Sundance this year, Collette sported a bleached blonde pixie cut. It’s leftover from her recent role as a cancer victim in the upcoming film “Miss You Already.”

For her breakout role as an awkward ABBA and wedding-obsessed girl, Collette gained over 40 pounds.
