Coco stuns in his orange-and-pink drag look!
MANILA, Philippines – In 2016, Coco Martin proved that you can live your best life in drag, when he dressed as a woman in the long-running teleserye Ang Probinsyano.
In 2019, he proved it again, when he wore drag at the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Parade of Stars.
At the parade, Coco rode atop the float of the MMFF entry 3pol Trobol Huli Ka Balbon, alongside his co-star Jennylyn Mercado. For the parade, he wore a bright orange dress, a bright pink winged headdress, and pastel pink pigtails – with makeup on fleek.
The look refers to his role in 3pol Trobol, where he, as the personal security detail of a government official, goes undercover as a woman as part of a plot to uncover shady government dealings.
