Anne Hathaway has left fans looking the other way after undergoing a terrifying transformation. 

The Devil Wears Prada actress's raven locks and blemish-free skin were nowhere to be seen after an unbelievable makeover which left her bald and covered in scars.

But the epic new look is only for her upcoming film The Witches, which is a remake of the Roald Dahl classic of the same name, leaving her fans to breathe a sigh of relief.

Anne shared some behind-the-scenes clips from the movie and teased her followers by asking: "What has a witch ever done to you?"
