Helen Mirren shows off her incredible hair and make-up transformation at the Oscars
The star shared a before and after snap while getting glammed up
HELEN Mirren has showed off her incredible Oscars transformation in a candid Instagram post.
The 72-year-old actress shared a snap of herself sitting in her hair and make-up chair before her glam squad worked their magic.
She captioned the image: "Oscar night before.".
She then posted a pic fully made-up with the caption: "And after,....with the help of those in the photo," (sic)
The Woman In Gold star was dripping in diamonds as she smiled for the camera.
Helen's before and after snaps come just a short while after the star admitted she has battled with insecurities throughout her life.
Speaking to she confessed: "I have experienced insecurity all my life, and I still do on a daily basis. I remember having these panic attacks but not at the obvious moments.
"Because I have never felt beautiful. There are people who are beautiful and I'm objective enough to know that I don't fit into that category.
"For me, still now, it's to do with wit and intelligence rather than the way I look. I don't feel clever or funny enough."
Helen - who scooped the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Queen back in 2006 - documented the 90th Academy Awards on her Instagram throughout the evening.

When she wasn't snapping selfies, the star captured lots of behind-the-scenes snaps, showing everything from the event's high security to the orchestra who worked hard from booths below the stage.
Helen - who even flipped a middle finger at one point - also posted a rather smiley picture of friends and True Detective co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
"And two seriously great guys.. there are lots of them out there," she wrote next to her snap of the pair.
