Jessica Biel Transforms for Celebrity Hairstylist Mark Townsend's New Markt Beauty Website

Jessica Biel is nearly unrecognizable in the launch issue of Markt Beauty, a new "beauty destination" website by celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend.

The normally natural beauty goes blonde bombshell, in a short pixie-cut wig and lacy tights inspired by 60s icon Edie Sedgwick for a few of the photos, while others have her channeling Veruschka with flowing brown locks and blue eye shadow.

Besides showcasing Biel's versatility, there's no ardent theme linking the shots together. Instead they're just refreshingly fun and creative, which is exactly the aim of the website born when Townsend -- who's the go-to hair guy for Biel, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lea Michelle, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Jennifer Lawrence (and a regular StyleList interviewee after red carpet events) -- had some rare down time.

"About 9 months ago I found myself with an unexpected week off with no jobs, not even a single blowout or bang trim!," said Townsend on the website. "So I decided to round up some friends and do some spontaneous photo shoots and have some creative fun."

Jessica Biel is all smiles in blue eye shadow and flowing locks. MarktBeauty.com


"We had no idea where the pictures would go or who would see them and we had no boundaries so we let our minds go wild and just played dress up with some up-and-coming models. It was like the '90s, when I was a hair assistant and would get together with make up assistants and photographer's assistants and do test shoots so we could build our portfolios," he said.

"I have to admit, it was so much fun!"

To share the outcome of this shoot, Townsend created the website, which he plans to update with tricks, tips and tools from photo shoots and red carpet events. Not to mention more photo collaborations with his fabulous friends.

And the fun had at the shoot is evident in the fantastic photos, shot by photographer Don Flood, with makeup by Hollywood favorite Rachel Goodwin. Besides the Biel shots, the site also features Jennifer Lawrence pouting in purple lids and orangy-red lips, an ode to flowing blonde hair, and a decade-inspired shoot featuring epochal looks from the 20s through the 80s that was our personal favorite.

There's also an educational aspect to please the most beauty-obsessed fans, with detailed explanations on the tools and products used to achieve each look, along with candid tips on new product likes.

"I used my new obsession, Dove Frizz Control Taming Cream to get rid of flyaways and create a really cool texture in her hair," said Townsend, of Jennifer Lawrence's look at the May 26th premiere of "Winter's Bone."

We can't wait to see the second issue!

I'm sorry - Jessica Biel is hideously ugly to me. That fake nose, fake teeth, etc is just too much. I don't get why Hollywood keeps trying to push her on us, and she certainly isn't as hot as they want us to believe. Somebody please make it stop...

It's not her teeth and nose I'm focused on. :-)

Christina --- what a surprise that a woman would have such an issue with Jessica Biel's "looks".
The 2nd picture is absolutely gorgeous; kind of an old Jane Fonda "Barbarella" look from the 60's.
I have seen pictures of her with no make up and she is absolutely beautiful. Classic, girl next door, and a terrific figure. Oh yeah, and apparently a very nice person and great actress. So take your b!tch-claws and walk away until you can even come close to matching her.

Christina, Get real....you would change your appearance to look just like her if you could. However, you can't build castles with 2 X 4's

I think she looks just gorgeous! I hope she will look at herself and try to work some of the things into her "living" style. I have always thought that she could do so much more with herself as she has great bones......just dull looking!

Not really liking this look at all but I have never found Jessica Biel to be all that attractive. And something about this also makes her look much older than her actual age.

Let's paint a Porsche purple or a Ferrari lime green. That's about the equivalent to what they did to her.

Jealous? AHAHAH that's a good one. I'd love to see what you jerks look like. Fat, balding and short I'm sure.

I couldnt' agree more w/Christina. I find nothing attractive about her. And yes, her career is over ...time she find another occupation.

Wow... Jealous is right!! I have never heard anyone call Jessica Biel hideous. She is a very pretty girl with a ridiculously toned and athletic body. These women probably look like hags anyway. It takes a little self confidence to be able to admit that another women is pretty anyway.

I have never thought of Jessica as a great beauty; to me, she is plain looking which makes her appear as though she is a down-to-earth girl-next-door type. That type of person is one I would look forward to seeing in a movie or a television series (i.e. Sandra Bullock). I know that ALL celebrities get their photos airbrushed for that flawless look, and that everybody is beautiful in their own way. Jessica has an inner beauty and seems to be a responsible person, which is very rare with celebrities these days. I would rather have her as a role model for young girls than someone who is always in the limelight, either getting arrested or having/adopting babies as a status symbol.
