Marisa Abela transformed into Amy Winehouse as she continued filming Back To Black alongside Eddie Marsan at her real home in Camden Square on Friday.
The actress, 26, was the spitting image of the late musician, who died from alcohol poisoning aged 27 in 2011.
She had her hair swept back into Amy’s iconic beehive with a strip of blonde across her fringe.
Marisa flashed her stomach in a white tank top, teamed with low-rise jeans and a blue patterned shirt.
She donned a pair of black trainers and sported a bold makeup look which consisted of a bronzed base and winged eyeliner.

Popular: The duo stepped out of the house and walked down the street where they were mobbed by paparazzi in the scene
Meanwhile Eddie, who is taking on the role of the icons father Mitch, donned a navy blue top and grey trousers.
The duo stepped out of the house and walked down the street where they were mobbed by paparazzi in the scene.
The filming comes after Mitch Winehouse defended the controversial casting choice for the new biopic – after many claimed Marisa and Amy don’t look enough alike.
Mitch, 72, disagrees with the backlash as he shared that Marisa is a ‘great choice’, admitting it doesn’t matter if they ‘don’t look exactly alike’.
Chatting with TM Z on the new release about his daughter, Mitch said: ‘Marisa is Marisa and Amy is Amy… so it’s no big deal if they aren’t mirror images.’
‘Marisa is a great choice for the role.’
He continued that Eddie Marsan, who is playing Mitch, doesn’t look exactly like him either, noting: ‘there’s too much emphasis on looks.
‘Because there’s plenty of Hollywood examples of actors not looking like their real-life character.’
He later joked to The Mail on Sunday, that he wanted George Clooney to play himself: ‘I told my friend that Eddie was playing me and he said – excuse my French – “Eddie f****** Marsan! He’s not very good-looking.” I said, “I know – I wanted George Clooney!” ’
As an administrator of his daughter’s estate, Mitch has given his backing to the new movie – Back To Black – with some proceeds going to the charity set up in her name.
But jokes about casting aside, the former cabbie has insisted that at least some of his flaws are shown on screen – admitting to clashing with director Sam Taylor-Johnson over his portrayal.
‘I sent the first script back,’ he told The Mail on Sunday. ‘It made me look like a saint – like I should be knighted. It was too much.’

Despite it being almost 12 years since Ms Winehouse was found unresponsive at her townhouse in Camden, North London, in July 2011, her grief-stricken friends still believe it is early for such a film to be made.
Sources on the set of Back To Black – directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and named after Ms Winehouse’s hit 2006 album – say that filming is only due to last 10 weeks.
One insider said: ‘It all feels very fast, almost a bit smash and grab.’
Many have also doubted the film being made as a whole, accusing the project of ‘exploiting the singer’s legacy’ and ‘capitalising off her trauma’, with some calling for people to ‘just let her rest’.
