Dress-up forms part of the basic job description for any actor, but the creative community at DesignCrowd has decided to take the idea to the extreme.

As it’s awards season, it seemed the perfect time to shine the spotlight on the gender swap Photoshop skills of the designers, who have imagined Hollywood’s elite as the opposite sex.

Both male and female stars have been kitted out in non-conventional clothes for a glimpse at their sometimes appealing, but often unnerving, alter-egos.

Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Richard Gere, and Jennifer Aniston feature in what would be the strangest red carpet you’ve ever seen.
