Parker Posey is barely recognisable after undergoing dramatic hair transformation

Parker Posey traded her signature brunette bob for shaggy auburn curls in the upcoming black comedy film, Wild Horse Nine. 

The 57-year-old actress stars opposite John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell in Martin McDonagh's political thriller, which follows a pair of CIA agents, Chris and Lee, stationed in Santiago, Chile, in 1973, ahead of a military coup to overthrow Chilean president Salvador Allende.

Parker has long been a style icon of the big screen, from her 90s club-ready wardrobe in Party Girl to super chic tailored suits in Cafe Society. In Wild Horse Nine, the White Lotus actress rocks bright blue eyeshadow, and a vibrant wardrobe featuring a classic 70s floral shirt and a leopard print dress to play Lee's unfaithful wife Marge.

What is Wild Horse Nine about?

"Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways."
