Mona Lisa for Milan Fashion Show

Rentz, through his drag persona, is popular on TikTok and Instagram—where he has 890,000 and 1.3 million followers, respectively—for his elaborate and meticulous transformations into many of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, from a young Judy Garland to Dolly Parton and Barbara Streisand. He documents these transformations with behind-the-scenes videos showing his expert use of prosthetics, and special effects make-up.

While there are many such make-up influencers on social media, Rentz goes beyond full face makeup to do whole body transformations. Earlier this week, Rentz did just that to promote Boss—a sub-brand of Hugo Boss—attending the runway show as the Mona Lisa, though of course dressed in the new collection, which creative director Marco Falcioni told WWD was “all about evoking the German sturm and drang.” It was not immediately clear how that tied to the Mona Lisa, but nevertheless, Rentz was striking.
