And ahead of the highly anticipated eight-part series, PR powerhouse Roxy Jacenko transformed into her alter ego, fierce and fabulous drag queen ‘Coco Caine’.

A short video saw Roxy strutting through her Sydney office in the sparkling attire, which also included a beaded rainbow choker and statement star drop earrings. 

Her signature blonde locks were obscured underneath the voluminous wig, and her makeup consisted of a heavy coating of foundation, sharp eyebrows, extra long false lashes, metallic purple eyeshadow, heavy blush and a glossy magenta lip. 

Also posting a close-up shot to Instagram of her plunging frock and jewels, Roxy hilariously captioned it ‘desk attire in anticipation of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under on Stan Australia’.
