Who is Alexis Stone?
Stone is widely celebrated for using makeup, prosthetics and character studies to transform into celebrities ranging from Meryl Streep and Lana Del Rey to Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Stone spoke about her obsession, saying, “I lived with trans women for about ten years and was always around the magic and trauma of it. There was something magical about sleeping during the day and coming to life at night that naturally transitioned into drag.”
He added, “But artificially, I never studied. I left school at 16 and went to London. I just taught myself everything.”
Over the past decade, her dramatic transformations have attracted global media attention, with her work featured in fashion weeks and major style outlets. Stone’s work has been covered by major outlets including CNN Style, which has highlighted the extensive nature of his process.
CNN Style noted that he collaborated with special effects and fragrance designers to help him fully “vest” his characters, beyond mere visual resemblance.
A key moment in her career came when she transformed herself into Miranda Priestly, the fictional fashion editor played by Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, at Paris Couture Week 2024 with a tailored wig and fashion-week outfit.
