Conchita Wurst knows how to make an entrance. The singer, who first came into prominence after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 when she represented her home country of Austria, arrived to the Jean-Paul Gaultier show in Paris earlier today wearing a revealing white blouse tucked into high-waist, wide leg trousers, and a long black jacket thrown over her shoulders. It goes without saying that Wurst, born Thomas Neuwirth, has become an icon for the LBTQ community as well as a fashion favorite for her avant-garde mix of glamorous gowns, and her signature beard.

This isn’t her first foray into fashion of course. Wurst appeared on the Jean-Paul Gaultier Couture runway last season, closing the show in a black sheer gown with matching gloves and veil. She has also appeared in the pages of CR Fashion Book, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, and attended the Golden Globes wearing a green velvet gown by Alexis Mabille.


Where will we see her next? Only time will tell.
