For those of us who’ve been missing Desperate Housewives in our lives for more than a decade, it looks like a brand new TV drama is going to fill the void.
In the new year, Feud: Capote vs The Swans is set to be released, the second season of Ryan Murphy’s gripping anthology series.
Following the release of first look pictures earlier this year, a brand new poster of the lead stars has been unveiled – and several of the Hollywood icons look completely different after their incredible transformations.
From Demi Moore to Diane Lane, Naomi Watts, Molly Ringwald, Calista Flockhart and Chloë Sevigny, the cast of actors playing real-life people in the story is stacked to say the least.
Tom Hollander is set to appear as author Truman Capote, who befriended a group high-profile New York socialites in the 1960s, who he nicknamed ‘the swans’.
Capote’s social downfall came when he published a piece of writing about these women, referring to some under pseudonyms and others by their real names, exposing their biggest secrets.
In the new poster that’s been released for Feud: Capote Vs The Swans, the six women at the centre of the story look hypnotising while surrounded by elegant, black, red-beaked swans.
The image of Naomi in the centre of the top row, portraying magazine editor Babe Paley, is particularly striking, as she looks worlds apart – and pretty much unrecognisable – from her usual blonde self.
Ally McBeal’s Calista is starring as Lee Radziwell, the sister of Jackie Kennedy, while Diane is portraying fashion icon Slim Keith.
Demi stars as socialite and showgirl Ann Woodard, with Chloë playing author and fashion designer C. Z. Guest, and Molly Ringwald depicting Joanne Carson, the wife of TV host Johnny Carson.
Each of the actresses have undergone impressive transformations for their roles, with Demi looking like she’s literally stepped out of the 1960s thanks to her huge bouffant hairdo while sitting at a bar in a first look image.
Calista’s Lee Radziwell looks like she’s ready for business in a leopard-print jacket, paired with striking cat-eye make-up, a perfectly glossed pout and shoulder-length hair styled into glamorous waves.
Babe Paley, whose second husband William S Paley founded the American TV network CBS, oozes power in her portrayal by Naomi, as the actress lounges nonchalantly on a chaise longue, looking directly at the camera.
Meanwhile, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club star Molly is every inch golden age Hollywood starlet, gracefully extending her arms with grace while wearing a sheer burgundy gown.
Chloë character C. Z. led an illustrious and varied career, gaining renown as a columnist, author, actress and fashion designer, in addition to her reputation as a socialite.
Slim Keith, who is played by Diane, had a huge impact on fashion trends in the 1950s and 1960s, and brushed shoulders with the likes of Cary Grant, Ernest Hemingway and Clark Gable throughout her life.
Another remarkable transformation in Feud: Capote Vs The Swans is that of The White Lotus star Tom, who is a deadringer for the real-life Truman Capote.
Some of Capote’s best-known works included Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which inspired the Audrey Hepburn film of the same name, and his true crime novel In Cold Blood.
