Drew Barrymore has swapped her favoured worn jeans and old t-shirt look for some Old Hollywood glamour.

The star stepped on set of her new film Grey Gardens sporting soft curls, lashings of red lipstick and a thigh-skimming playsuit.

In the film, which also stars Jessica Lange, Drew plays Little Edie, the eccentric aunt and first cousin of former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

Meanwhile, Drew, who split from Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti earlier this year, has quietly started dating actor Justin Long, her costar in the upcoming romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You.

The pair have kept tight lipped about the budding romance, but Long hinted at a recent press conference that his love life is on track.
