Courtney Act looks fierce in a crop top and mini skirt ahead of Mardi Gras

Australia’s most famous drag queen, Courtney Act, is gearing up to once again host the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

And in the lead-up to the spectacular parade, the 38-year-old performer, whose real name is Shane Jenek, strutted her stuff in Bondi Beach on Friday.

Courtney appeared to be having a blast as she posed for promotional photos on a pastel pink ice-cream truck.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race star flaunted her long legs in a ruffled mini skirt, which she paired with a matching crop top. 

Courtney completed her look with a pair of strappy knee-high heeled boots and accessorised with a white bow in her hair.

She styled her blonde locks into an intricate updo, and her makeup look consisted of a smokey eye and false lashes.

Courtney showed off her vivacious personality by posing up a storm on the truck.

Later on, she was all smiles as she posed with one of the lifeguards who was on duty, placing her arm over his shoulder. 

It comes after Courtney shut down rumours she was hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, which began filming on January 29.

Courtney was said to be a shoo-in to host the new season, which is a Stan Original.

But she dispelled the rumours on The Project last month, saying it would be logistically impossible for her to host the program.

Courtney revealed she had just completed a two-week quarantine in Sydney rather than New Zealand, where the show is being filmed.

‘Everyone’s saying it, but I promise you I have nothing to do with Drag Race, and I’ll tell you why,’ she said.

‘I was reading that RuPaul and 16 people have landed in Auckland to film Drag Race, so I can assure you that if I were involved, that I would not fly to Sydney to quarantine for two weeks, only to fly to Auckland to quarantine for two weeks.’

Daily Mail Australia understands that RuPaul Charles himself will be hosting the show, and has already completed hotel quarantine in New Zealand.
