Elizabeth Banks played the eccentric Effie Trinket in the famous film ‘The Hunger Games’. Even though the look was not “ugly”, it was certainly very odd and uncharacteristic of the actress. Banks was completely covered in lavender and pink airbrush, and always wore huge, heavy wigs, and over-the-top, uncomfortable shoes.
Although that was nothing compared to the flowers that decorated her clothes and the butterflies she had on her eyelashes. Banks looked like she had been released from an insane asylum.
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling was a queen of the '90s, starting off with her role as Violet Bickerstaff in the beloved sitcom, 'Saved By the Bell'. Victoria wasn't exactly one of the popular girls, and her nerdy braids and big glasses didn't make her look particularly pretty on the show.
In real life, however, Tori Spelling is known for her style and attractive looks. And this actress certainly felt relatable to so many teens that have struggled, or are currently struggling, with self-esteem.
Taryn Manning
You might think of a pretty, hippie-looking young girl when you think of Taryn Manning, if you're judging by her roles in 'Crazy/Beautiful' or 'Crossroads'. However, if you fast forward a decade, and only know her from her character in 'Orange is the New Black', as Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett, you might just be in shock.
Her character in the series, which she says drew her attention immediately, is a former addict with black, receding gums and barely no teeth left that now lives in jail. In reality, however, Taryn is quite healthy, has all of her teeth, and is really quite attractive.
Felicity Huffman
Felicity Huffman had minor roles back in the 90s, appearing as a guest actress in ‘X-Files’, ‘Early Edition’, ‘Law & order’, and more. It wasn’t until 2004 when she landed the role of Lynette Scavo in ‘Desperate Housewives’ that she became wildly famous.
Huffman always appears more or less the same in her roles, which is why it was shocking to see her play Bree, a trans woman who goes on a trip to find a long-lost son, in the 2005 film ‘Transamerica’. Without virtually any makeup and a very simple, plain-looking wardrobe, Huffman looks older and much less attractive than her real-life persona.
Anjelica Huston
Anjelica Huston is a Hollywood veteran, with a career of nearly 40 years. Her father was an acclaimed director, and she was basically born into the business. She’s starred in countless blockbusters, such as ‘Prizzi’s Honor’, ‘The Grifters’, ‘The Addams Family’, and basically every Wes Anderson film.
But many will agree that one of her best performances, and most shocking transformations, was when she played Miss Ernst, in ‘The Witches’. With hideous makeup and prosthetics, Huston embodied a devilish witch, and certainly brought Roald Dahl’s famous character to life.
