TV Stars Who Look Totally Different IRL

The surprisingly unrecognizable faces behind some of TV's most familiar characters

Emilia Clarke
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.

Lady Edith Crawley, 'Downton Abbey'
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.

Laura Carmichael
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.

Snow White, 'Once Upon A Time'
You know how the classic story goes, "skin white as snow, lips red as blood and hair black as ebony." The TV hit may have added bow and arrow skills to Snow White's resume, but they stuck to the script when it came to the princess's fairytale good looks.

Ginnifer Goodwin
In real life, Goodwin put her hair on the chopping block before the pixie craze hit Hollywood, and she was known for her bold brows before Cara Delevingne was old enough to walk the runway.
