Conchita Wurst Brings Fashion Icon Jean Paul Gaultier To His Knees

What does Eurovision 2014 winner Conchita Wurst now have in common with Dita Von Teese and Beth Ditto?

They’ve all been given the utterly fabulous honor of closing out a Jean Paul Gaultier runway show.

Gaultier told The Independent:

“I met Conchita two years ago she came to one of my couture shows. I loved her look and when I heard that she will represent Austria for the Eurovision Song Contest, I was delighted. When she won I was crazy with joy.”

He added:

“I always say that beauty is difference and Conchita has shown us all that she is unstoppable. And she looks great in couture; she is a real couture woman.”

Conchita wore a stunning floor length black and red dress, and by the looks of these photos we’re guessing she received a smashing reception.

Earlier this year Conchita and Gaultier walked the red carpet together at the Life Ball in Vienna, a preview of the good things to come:
