Meet Eva Cado! Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski gets drag queen makeover for gay pride month

Queer Eye's hunky food and wine expert Antoni Porowski got an epic drag queen makeover from RuPaul's Drag Race 10 alum Miz Cracker in honor of LGBTQAI Pride Month.

The 35-year-old chef - who resembles John Mayer's hotter younger brother - admitted to Them he was a 'little nervous' but excited to 'explore and learn about a [feminine] side of me I kept deep inside.'

After getting fully-contoured make-up and lashes applied (but no tucking), Antoni donned a padded bra beneath a pastel-sequin feathered mini-dress designed by Christian Cowan.

Before/after! Queer Eye's hunky food and wine expert Antoni Porowski got an epic drag queen makeover from RuPaul's Drag Race 10 alum Miz Cracker in honor of LGBTQAI Pride Month

'She's a woman!' the 35-year-old drag queen (born Maxwell Heller) gushed upon seeing Porowski in the wig and dress.

'These are your bones. The only thing that's changed is a millimeter of make-up.'

The Canadian foodie - nickamed 'Eva Cado' by Miz Cracker - couldn't believe how his drag mother managed to elongate his face and make his eyes look twice as big.

'I have an a** for the first time in my life!' Antoni marveled.

'My feminine side is something that's always been internal with how I consider myself an emotionally sensitive person, and to see those stereotypical things come up on the outside in my outward appearance, it feels very naked.'

It was the second time Miz Cracker magically transformed a man into a drag queen after winning the 2018 makeover challenge with straight, bearded YouTube personality Chester See.

And it wasn't the first time Porowski got in drag as he lost the January 17th episode of Lip Sync Battle while dressed up as Britney Spears in her 2003 Toxic music video.

'That was like a 20-minute job,' he clarified.

'I also dressed up as a girl in the fifth grade for Halloween, but I did a really terrible job. I borrowed one of my sister's dresses and it was like an Hervé Leger-style dress and I shoved tennis balls in but they were popping out all the time. It was pretty terrible.'

Earlier in the episode, Antoni revealed that he never really 'came out' as gay to his family because he always dated both men and women.

'I think some of the [Queer Eye] producers were surprised,' Porowski recalled.

Porowski recalled: 'I think some of the [Queer Eye] producers were surprised. By referring to myself as gay, I felt like somehow it wasn't honoring the relationships and the real love that I had for the women I'd been in relationships with. So I think that the word that I'm most comfortable with is, I guess, "fluid"'
