Actress Bryce Dallas Howard had to wear a wig for scenes in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - because she didn't show up on set with her natural ginger look.

The actress fears she may have upset producers after turning up to take over the character Victoria with dyed hair.

She tells WENN, "I think I flew out on a Monday or Tuesday to go and do the role. That Friday (before) I had dyed my hair really dark. My natural hair colour is kind of like an orange red, which is what's depicted in the book.

"When I showed up, they (producers) were like, 'This is not the girl we hired!' Shooting had to start pretty quickly, so I wore a wig."

Howard stepped into the role following the departure of Rachelle Lefevre.
