We're always in awe of celebs who change up their looks for that one big on-screen moment -- Matthew McConaughey in "Dallas Buyers Club", Lupita Nyong'o in "12 Years a Slave", Meryl Streep in almost every role she plays. But when that makeover takes place every week in your living room (we're talking TV), it's hard to picture the celebrity outside the role. Good hair and makeup is truly powerful, people. Just take a look at these television favorites -- you'll have to rewind your DVR for a double take.

The exiled princess is as well known for her long blonde waves as she is for her dragon whispering.

The London-born actress's brunette hair is transformed each day on set thanks to some super-intricate wigs -- which can cost up to $7,000 -- and two hours in the styling chair. Clarke often trades in her dragons for a bold lip when walking the red carpet.

Oh, and here's our take on Daenerys' look, in case you need any pointers.

As the less conventionally pretty sister in the Crawley family, Lady Edith is basically the patron saint of middle children. In the period drama, Crawley's finger wave bob is often paired with a makeup-free (read: washed out) complexion.

In real life, Carmichael goes glam -- wearing modern smoky eyes, sleek hair and a dewy complexion on the red carpet. Even Ladies Mary and Sybil would be envious.
