Emma Stone looks completely unrecognisable in new role pics

She is the reigning Academy Award winner for Best Actress, thanks to her efforts in Hollywood hit La La Land. 

And Emma Stone was seen putting her acting talent to work once more, as she stepped out to film Maniac in New York - a new TV series which details the story of a man who's institutionalised imagining an alternate reality of a fantasy world, the Daily Mail reports.  

Long gone were the 29-year-old actress' trademark auburn tresses, as she emerged on set in character sporting a long platinum blonde braided mane. 

Emma, who is an executive producer on the series, along with her co-star Jonah Hill, donned a large umber brown shawl with brown leather gloves and brown boots, with a phalanx of arrows affixed to her back on the rural set of the production.

The Battle of the Sexes beauty worked alongside Julia Garner, who sported a similar look with a brown shawl as she held an enormous bow and arrow, with her blonde locks blowing in the wind.

Maniac, which is based on a 2014 series from Norway, also features an eclectic cast of performers including Oscar-winner Sally Field, Jennifer Aniston's husband Justin Theroux and Girls star Jemima Kirke.
