Born Gregory Allan Lazzarato in 1992, Gigi Gorgeous is a Canadian transgender actress, model, internet personality and make-up artist whose rise to fame has been helped along the way by Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner.
Joining the singer's Happy Hippie Foundation's #InstaPride campaign in 2015, Gorgeous also featured in Jenner's app with a number of make-up tutorials. Starting out with a beauty channel on YouTube in 2008, she initially identified as a homosexual male, but credits transgender model and performing artist Amanda Lepore and her mother's death for sparking her transition. In 2015, Gorgeous was honoured with the Best Beauty Series award at The Streamy Awards and has used her newfound celebrity status to bring awareness to transgender issues and the LGBT community.
