Even Lindsay Lohan's fans must have had their doubts about her casting as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's biopic “Liz & Dick” but the film's costume designer, Salvador Pérez, says they shouldn't worry.

Lifetime has just released a brand new photo of LiLo in character and, as usual, you can see it in full by clicking on the image above.

Dressed in a superb red gown, covered in a white fur and dripping in diamonds and rubies, Lindsay stares moodily from it.

In a statement accompanying it, costume designer Pérez swears Lindsay is a dead ringer for the part, even though casting her became such a controversial topic.

“There was an audible gasp. You’d swear it was Elizabeth. She just walked into the clothes and became Elizabeth Taylor,” Pérez says.

We'll reserve judgment until the film comes out later this year. You, however, should feel free to speak your mind in the comments section below.
