'Just a girl trying to make it in a man's world': Kate Beckinsale posts picture of herself wearing giant inflatable PENIS costume
As an A-list actress she's usually wearing elegant gowns from the fashion industry's elite.
But Kate Beckinsale decided to take a break from her usual regal appearance as she shared a picture of herself wearing a giant inflatable penis costume.
The 42-year-old British beauty mimicked doing up a suit with her brash choice of fancy dress and titled it: 'Just a girl trying to make it in a man's world'.

'Just a girl trying to make it in a man's world': Kate Beckinsale, 42, shared a picture on Instagram where she swapped her red carpet gowns for a giant inflatable penis costume
And Kate's acting chops were evident as she looked off in to the distance and managed to keep a straight face, despite the extreme comical nature of her get-up.
And while many teenagers would be embarrassed, it looks like her daughter Lily Mo Sheen wouldn't mind given that Kate recently revealed they always share a giggle over Michael Sheen (Lily's dad) naked pictures.
Speaking to US chat show host Conan O’Brien she explained: ‘My daughter and I are both from the school where we find a naked man very funny under the right circumstances.’
The Pearl Harbor star also added that she has a personal favourite from the collection of nude Micheal snaps, which came from a scene in Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa!

She said: ‘There’s a funny picture of him in a very good show that he did, in which he was brilliant, but they have a still of him getting out of a bathtub naked, with a quite military face and stance.
‘If I sense [Lily] feeling low I’ll think, “You know what, she could use Mike in the bath”.’
The couple enjoyed an eight year relationship, but split in early 2003 after the filming of Underworld, which also starred Michael, when she started a relationship with the movie's director Len Wiseman.
Michael is now in a long-term relationship with actress and comedian Sarah Silverman, who Kate described as 'basically family'.

She recently told Stylist magazine: 'I don't know why everyone was so surprised. Sarah's such a fantastic woman, I love her and Michael and I have gotten on for years now. I've known him since I was 22, we're basically family.
'The thing that surprised me was what a big deal everybody made about us all getting on and then thinking, "F**k, that's really sad if it's that unusual.
Kate also revealed that comedienne Sarah is a great influence on Lily and says she would want her around her daughter even if she were no longer dating the Masters of Sex star.
She added: 'I'm completely open to any other strong, cool sensitive independent-thinking women who are going to be an influence in my daughter's life.'
