Stellar actress and all-round kween, Ruby Rose, is about to making history in Hollywood.

The star has been cast to play Batwoman in an upcoming TV series - and if that wasn't enough, she'll play the first lesbian superhero in a lead role and the first-ever lesbian superhero title DC character. Major.

The 32-year-old Orange Is The New Black star took to Instagram to share the news, writing: "The Bat is out of the bag and I am beyond thrilled and honored.

"I’m also an emotional wreck.. because this is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on tv and felt alone and different.

"Thank you everyone. Thank you god."

The new show, which is a standalone series about Batwoman, will air in the US in 2019 on The CW network in December and centres around lead character, Rose's Kate Kane. We can't wait.

Ruby has spoken candidly about her gender fluidity in the past, telling ELLE: "Gender fluidity is not really feeling like you're at one end of the spectrum or the other.

"For the most part, I definitely don't identify as any gender. I'm not a guy; I don't really feel like a woman, but obviously I was born one. So, I'm somewhere in the middle, which – in my perfect imagination – is like having the best of both sexes. I have a lot of characteristics that would normally be present in a guy and then less that would be present in a woman. But then sometimes I'll put on a skirt – like today."

Let's take a look back at her best-ever beauty looks...
