People's minds are blown as drag queen 'transforms' into Jennifer Coolidge
Make-up can totally transform your features but drag artist Alexis Stone pushed that to the extreme by turning herself into a completely different person.
Stone turned heads at Diesel's Milan Fashion Week show as she appeared dressed head to toe as White Lotus actress Jennifer Coolidge. The resemblance to the Emmy winner was uncanny, with fans having to double take to check it wasn't Coolidge herself.
Posting to Instagram, the British drag queen shared a video of herself as Coolidge attending the fashion event followed up by pictures and another video of the transformation itself - which took five weeks to prepare.

Her Coolidge look took five weeks to prepare with the prosthetics custom built, a one-of-a-kind Diesel outfit created, and a blonde wig and full makeup application.
Stone, real name Elliot Joseph Rentz, shared a time-lapse video to her Instagram of the transformation but has not revealed how long it took to put together on the day.
The iconic actress was not present at the show but her White Lotus co-star Haley Lu Richardson attended and Stone even sat beside the 27-year-old in the front row.
Coolidge has not shared her thoughts on the transformation publicly, although Richardson can be seen laughing in video footage of the event, surprised and entertained by the uncanny depiction.
Stone's transformation attracted lots of attention and praise, with RuPaul's Drag Race judge Michelle Visage calling it "unreal". Other drag performers such as Danny Beard, The Vivienne and Gigi Goode commented how astounded they were by the "realistic" imitation.

Thanks to her White Lotus Emmy win, Coolidge has had a career resurgence with plenty of upcoming films and shows on the horizon. The 61-year-old has also become an internet darling with clips and memes of her character Tanya McQuoid going viral.
Coolidge is known for her distinct look and recognisable voice and her filmography includes films such as American Pie, A Cinderella Story, Robots, Promising Young Woman, and Legally Blonde.
The beloved actress told Entertainment Tonight : ""I feel so alive, you know? You go through your life, and you sort of just assume you're used to going a certain way and you just take on whatever that baggage is and that it's never going to change...
"My life was changed overnight, and I could not be more grateful."
