    Who’s that girl? An almost unrecognisable Kate Beckinsale cuts a fine figure in the new ad campaign for Absolut Vodka

    WOW. Check out these pics from the new ad campaign for Absolut Vodka, which stars a practically unrecognisable Kate Beckinsale.

    The Brit actress cuts a fine figure in three different costumes to promote three new vodka-based cocktails for the drinks brand.

    The amazing snaps for the Swedish alcohol company, were taken by renowned fashion photographer Ellen von Unworth and show Kate in trio of super-sexy outfits.

    The first sees Kate going green in leggings and a bandeau top, teamed with a striking blonde wig - to advertise the Absolut Tonic Twist - a cocktail made with vodka, lime and tonic.

    The second, for the Absolut Bloody drink - a modern twist on the Bloody Mary - shows Miss Beckinsale unleashing her inner vamp, and sporting a glam red gown, Hollywood curls and posing with a gothic candelabrum.

    Rounding off the trio, the third and final shot has Kate showing off her seriously enviable figure in a miniscule chain mail bikini, complete with wrist cuffs, vertiginous gold heels and a super-voluminous coiffure.

    The Amazonian Barbarella-esque ensemble is used to promote the third cocktail, Absolut Crush - a combination of Absolut Mandarin, fresh orange juice and Triple Sec.

    A fourth cocktail, Absolut Cosmo - a mixture of Absolut Citron, cranberry juice and Triple Sec - is modelled by a space-age styled Zooey Deshcanel.
