We're used to seeing Kym Marsh play Michelle Connor on Coronation Street.
But the actress was portraying an entirely different character when she attended cast member Simon Gregson's inaugural fancy dress charity ball in Manchester on Saturday evening.
The 38-year-old pulled out all the stops for her Poison Ivy costume, dazzling in a skin-tight green mini dress, a fiery red wig, dramatic make-up and green vines scattered over her eyes and throughout her hair.

Also in attendance was the star's new boyfriend Dan Hooper, who gave Hugh Jackman a run for his money in a Wolverine costume.
Dan showed off his buff biceps in a white vest, while slicking his hair back and opting for denim jeans and of course the X-Men character's trademark claws were strapped to his hands.
They weren't the only ones embracing Simon's Superhero theme with the likes of Katie Mcglynn, Denise Welch, Alan Halsall and Lucy Jo Hudson getting into the spirit of the night.

Simon throws the bash every year to raise funds for Caudwell Children, which supports families with disabled children across the UK.
'I've decided I'm going as Spanish Batman - Batmanuel. He's a real character from a comedy sketch so it seemed like a good idea. I didn't want the room to be filled with about a hundred Spidermen and Supermen so I thought I'd do something a bit different,' Simon said of the event.
Adding: 'And that's why we added cartoon characters into the theme too, as we're hoping we get a few more unusual outfits, we'd love to have a Captain Caveman or a Hong Kong Phooey.'
And it looks like all the drama from the past few months had finally evaporated as the happy couple mingled with fellow cast members and they posed for cosy photos together.
Indeed, their romance has been controversial to say the least after Kym became embroiled in a very public spat with former pal Stephanie Waring, after Stephanie claimed Kym and Dan begun dating just six weeks after she had split from him.

'I had to endure finding out that the father of my child had moved onto someone else, someone I considered to be a friend, only six weeks after we had separated,'the 35-year-old wrote on Twitter early last month.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday at the time Stephanie said of the love triangle: 'She's carried on with him knowing what it's done to me. It is killing me.'
While a spokesperson for Kym told the MailOnline: 'Kym is very upset that Stephanie feels the way she does and is disappointed she has chosen to sell her story to a newspaper rather than speak to her directly.'
However Stephanie finally ended the feud by tweeting: 'Kym didn't steal Dan we had split... I think everyone should move on now.'
