A-list actress is hardly recognisable as she overhauls look with dramatic dark hair transformation
A HOLLYWOOD screen star looked completely unrecognisable as she stepped out with dramatically different locks. The Mamma Mia 2 star, 36, showed off her darkened raven-coloured hair as she ran errands in London. 6 6 6 6 Lily James left fans doing a double take as she strolled down the street in a leather jacket and blue gym leggings, with a tote bag thrown over her shoulder. The Downton Abbey alum padded around in a pair of Birkenstock sandals and was seen tapping away on her phone, before stuffing something into her jacket pocket. Esher-born Lily kept her head down, intent on running errands in the summer heat. Yet her hair re-vamp commanded most attention, styled poker straight and flowing over her shoulders as opposed to previous glam up-dos. She has been sporting caramel coloured locks of late - a stark contrast to the bold hues of her latest look. She gave a nod to her new hair shade with a shiny black manicure. Recently, fans gushed over her "stunning" look as she stripped to a bikini. Back in 2022, Lily again showed off an unrecognisable look after a goth transformation for a major high street campaign. SCREEN QUEEN Lily played Poppy in ITV's Secret Diary of a Call Girl in 2011, and was in the BBC production of Just William as Ethel Brown in 2010. However, she is most well known for playing Lady Rose in Downton Abbey. Lily James, 33, stuns in low-cut green gown at the premiere of latest movie Her character appeared in the last episode of series three in 2012, and became more prominent in the fourth and fifth seasons. Earlier in 2017, she played Debora, love interest of main character Baby, in action film Baby Driver. In early 2018 she was in the Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour, where she played Elizabeth Layton. In 2018 she played Young Donna in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. In 2020 she appeared in Netflix's Rebecca. In early 2021 the actress appeared in The Dig, based on the story of an archaeologist who embarks on the historically important excavation of Sutton Hoo in 1938. A year later, she took the lead role in Pam and Tommy. She will soon star in the upcoming - and final - Downton Abbey movie. 6 6

Loose Women star misses out on Celebrity Bridge of Lies jackpot after choosing wrong answer – but could you have got it?
LOOSE Women star flunks jackpot question on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - but would you have nailed it? A Loose Women favourite came this close to scooping the cash prize on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - only to trip up on the final question and lose it all. 2 2 Sunetra Sarker, 52, made it all the way to the final bridge on the hit BBC quiz show, but her luck ran out just steps away from the jackpot. The Casualty and Ackley Bridge actress had been confidently spotting the lies from the truth all evening, impressing host Ross Kemp and cheering on her celeb teammates. But when it came to the crunch - the final question that stood between her and a big cash prize for charity — Sunetra chose the wrong answer, and the money vanished in a flash. Ross looked gutted as the bridge lit up in red, exposing the answer she should have picked. Fans at home were left shouting at their screens - but would YOU have got it right? Sunetra was tasked to spot the true fact out of four statements. They were: Virgo is the only star sign represented by a person, White chocolate contains cocoa butter, The first Red Nose Day took place before Live Aid, and Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball. Sunetra was torn between two answers. But, after deliberating with her teammate Jason Mohammad, they agreed that "Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball" was most likely the truth. Ross revealed it was a lie - as Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Goldfinger - leaving Sunetra gutted. Carol Vorderman left stumped by 'easy' Jack Black question on Celebrity Puzzling Also in the episode, Sunetra failed to realise a true statement was about her fellow Loose Woman co-star. It read: "Tracey Stubbs is a character in Birds of a Feather." Sunetra guessed that it was true, and was relieved when Ross said she was correct. However, she was left stunned when Ross revealed: "Yeah, she's played by Linda Robson - your fellow Loose Women star!" Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Sunetra replied: "You're kidding me! "She'll never forgive me.
