Rebel Wilson cleans up nicely.

The Pitch Perfect standout is a regular soap star on the cover of Glamour UK's July issue, for which she ditched her clothes, donned some diamonds and plunged into a bubble bath.

Not bad for the actress Joan Collins once mistook for a member of craft services!

"Before I became Film Actress of the Year, I did a television episode with [Collins]," honoree Wilson told the mag backstage at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London, where the Dynasty star happened to be a presenter.

"She thought I was one of the caterers, she didn't know I was an actress! She asked me, 'When's lunch?' Now I see her here, she's presenting an award... I'm getting an award...

"My, what two years can do."

Meanwhile, Wilson's debut as a cover girl was a big hit with her fans and famous friends, including Judd Apatow and Russell Brand.

"You're perfect," Brand admired the Australian star on Twitter, while Bridesmaids producer Apatow tweeted, "You are always on the cover...of my heart."

"CONGRATS!!! Soooo happy for you. xoxo," tweeted Ken Jeong, and an impressed Hayley Williams from Paramore gushed, "geez. soooo gorgeous!!"
