A STRIKING new haircut has shocked fans of this A-list actress, who looks absolutely unrecognizable in recent photos.
The actress was seen dressed in a schlubby bathrobe, white undershirt, baggy sweatpants, and slippers on the streets of Los Angeles.
But it’s all just character work for Sarah Paulson, who has taken on the role of murderer, Aileen Wuornos, in the highly-anticipated fourth season of Ryan Murphy’s Monster.
Recent behind-the-scenes photos from the Los Angeles film set showcase the actress fully embracing her character transformation.
This fresh portrayal promises to bring a unique perspective to a complex character.
Previously, the role of Aileen was famously played by Charlize Theron in the acclaimed film, Monster, for which she won both the Golden Globe and Oscar Award for Best Actress.
The story has also been told via first-person recounts in the Netflix documentary, Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers.
Sarah has now taken on this demanding role, and her wardrobe and makeup team have done an incredible job to make her look unrecognizable.
For her acting in previous roles, Sarah is the recipient of an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Tony Award.
She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2025.
She has played numerous historic women, including Linda Tripp, Marcia Clark, and the fictional Nurse Ratched.
She’s most recently been seen on-screen acting against Kim Kardashian in Hulu’s All’s Fair.
While that show has been touted by many as “the worst show ever,” skyrocketing ratings got it renewed for a second season.
Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series covers the true stories of various murderers.
Season one focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, season two focused on The Menendez brothers, season three focused on Ed Gein, and the fourth season will focus on both Aileen Wuornos and murderess Lizzie Borden.
The show is acclaimed for exploring the societal impact of these killers, as well as diving into their psychology.
