Jennifer Lawrence body painted for X-Men role

Jennifer Lawrence has hit the X-Men set like a bolt from the blue.

Fans have been given a glimpse of the 22-year-old star in all her painted glory as she reprises her role as Mystique in the hit franchise.

In a snap shared on Twitter by the film’s director Bryan Singer, Jennifer in covered in the bright colour to record scenes in the Days of Future Past edition of the motion picture franchise.

He captioned the image: ‘First look: #JenniferLawrence as a vengeful #Mystique. #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast.’

Although it appears she could be naked undeeath her coats of blue paint, on closer look she seems to be donning a thin body suit.

The sheer material showed off her toned stomach with a cut-out middle section and featured textured pieces to create reptile effect for the Marvels Comics mutant.

Jennifer also wore her usually blonde locks slicked back into a flaming orange style while on set in Montreal, Canada.

Her looks were being adjusted by a hair and make-up team member as she stood in front of a green screen.
