Conchita Wurst made her modelling debut on Wednesday at Jean Paul Gaultier's couture show in Paris.
Eurovision winner Conchita, who has long been a fan of the French fashion house, followed in the footsteps of Beth Ditto and Dita Von Teese to close the presentation of the Fall/Winter 2014-15 Haute Couture fashion collection. "I met Conchita two years ago she came to one of my couture shows," Jean Paul Gaultier told The Independent after the show.
"I loved her look and when I heard that she would represent Austria for the Eurovision Song Contest, I was delighted.

And she looks great in couture; she is a real couture woman. "Conchita, who is the alter ego of 25-year-old showman Thomas 'Tom' Neuwirth, sported a sweeping black dress which showed-off a large tattoo, depicting her mother Helga Neuwith, on her back.
